Drugs made of mRNA have the potential to transform medicine—if only they could get into cells in one piece. Now, University ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their potential use in a host of biotechnological processes to benefit humankind, from ...

How a Plant Virus Trains the Immune System The researchers tested CPMV in mice and even in pet dogs with cancer. In both cases, the results were striking. When they injected the virus directly into ...

A team led by investigators at Mass General Brigham and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has shown that a single injection of an oncolytic virus—a genetically modified virus that selectively infects and ...

When a pathogen like a dangerous virus invades the human body, it usually has to enter human cells to cause an illness. Influenza has to latch onto a receptor on the surface of a human cell so it can ...

Scientists have captured a never-before-seen, high-resolution look at influenza’s stealthy invasion of human cells, revealing that the cells aren’t just helpless victims. Using a groundbreaking ...

How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...

Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team has developed a method that can be used to study the interaction of viruses with host cells in unprecedented ...

This hybrid system lets researchers zoom in on living human cells with incredible detail. This offers a new real time insight into how the flu virus operates. For the first time, researchers could ...
