Researchers identify how Marburg virus can efficiently infect human cells, using cryo-EM to demonstrate entry.

To see how microgravity changes certain microbes, researchers sent bacteria-infecting viruses called bacteriophages to the ...

The virus is the human polyomavirus 2, commonly called either the JC virus or John Cunningham virus, named after the poor ...

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

Scientists have discovered a defensive method of cells that resembles Spiderman shooting his web to ensnare enemies. These cells defend our bodies from the early stages of viral infection by ...

Scientists have found a way to make one of the most aggressive brain tumors vulnerable to the immune system. A single injection of a modified virus can invade glioblastoma, kill cancer cells, and ...

EM images reveal how Marburg virus slips into human cells, exposing glycoprotein “cap” tricks and weak spots that could guide future antivirals, antibodies and vaccines.

A protein already targeted by FDA-approved cancer drugs may also help the body fight influenza, according to new research from The Jackson Laboratory (JAX). Published in Cell Reports, the study found ...

Unexpected chilblains, unusual rashes, and flareups of existing conditions— Katharine Lang asks experts how the skin can react to covid infection “Covid toes”—swollen and itchy red or purple toes, or ...

From childhood coughs and colds, through meningitis B in teens and shingles in older people, here’s how our immunity to ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...
