For the first time, scientists have captured how new antiviral drugs halt the herpes virus in real time as it tries to ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising viral shortcut that turns moving cells into delivery vehicles for infection. Instead ...

A drug once designed for dengue virus, then quietly abandoned by industry, is suddenly back in the spotlight, and it may be ...

HIV hijacks SRRM2 to enlarge nuclear speckles, stabilizing CPSF6 puncta and promoting efficient viral replication.

Researchers have discovered that virus-like nanoparticles can promote the multicellular organization and reproduction of host bacteria. These particles, which are evolutionarily related to phages ...

The mosquito-borne Zika virus hijacks a host protein called ANKLE2 to support its own reproduction. ANKLE2 is involved in brain development in the fetus and because Zika can cross the placenta and ...

The mosquito-borne Zika virus is known for causing microcephaly, a birth defect in which abnormal brain development results in a smaller-than-expected head. A new study published Jan. 13 in mBio shows ...

Over a single day, in the placid waters of a single pond, a million virus particles might enter a single-celled organism known for the minuscule hairs, or cilia, that propel it through those waters.
