Researchers have deciphered the process by which the influenza virus steals the cap of the host RNA to replicate.

Herpes simplex virus partially liquifies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a new study shows. The research centers on how the nucleus of each human cell ...

Co-infection of influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2 can lead to more severe disease than infection of either alone.

ViruSure, an Asahi Kasei company and global leader in pathogen safety testing for biopharmaceuticals, today announced the launch of the world's first GMP-validated adventitious viral agent (AVA) ...

Orthohantaviruses, such as the Puumala virus, are widespread in Europe, causing flu-like illnesses and severe kidney damage in those infected. It is increasingly considered a zoonotic threat.

A virus that is big enough to be seen under an ordinary light microscope co-opts its host’s systems with the help of potentially purloined genes. The researchers found that the virus makes a complex ...

Researchers at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CEB) have found a new way to organize molecules inside living cells, opening possibilities for more controlled and efficient ...

Hidden in volcanic lakes and deep-sea vents, scientists have discovered tough new DNA-binding proteins built to survive extreme conditions. After scanning huge genetic databases, researchers found ...

Emerging research suggests reversible RNA editing mechanisms may influence heart disease biology while opening new avenues for biomarkers and next-generation cardiovascular therapies. Review: RNA ...

Viruses rely on the machinery of their host cells to produce proteins, but some giant viruses encode a key part of this toolkit in their genome, enabling them to direct the host cell to produce more ...

The COVID-19 pandemic brought messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to the forefront of global health care. After their clinical ...

A mysterious RNA found in breast cancer led scientists to uncover an entire hidden class of cancer-specific RNAs across dozens of tumor types. These molecules form unique molecular signatures that ...
