The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Investigating microplastics in agriculture reveals their effects on soil microbes and viruses, crucial for developing strategies for ecosystem restoration.

A giant DNA virus pulled from a Japanese freshwater pond is forcing scientists to rethink how complex cells first acquired their defining feature: the nucleus. Named ushikuvirus, the newly ...

Ongoing research aims to confirm the mechanism by which ICP4 fluidizes the nucleus, which could indicate specific targets to counter viral replication.

Dr. Todd Maderis, ND  Exploring immune dysregulation, viral reactivation, mitochondrial impairment, and treatment implications in post-EBV fatigue syndromes ...

Since the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, numerous articles have highlighted a possible link between COVID-19 vaccination or infection and Herpesviridae co-infection or reactivation. The authors ...

Soil viruses control the dynamics and metabolism of their hosts, strongly modifying carbon and nutrient cycling as well as soil biochemistry. Warming specifically affects viruses and their hosts, but ...

ATHOL, Idaho — Riders on Silverwood's 'Spin Cycle' ride got a little lightheaded, but not for the reason you think. A post on TikTok showed the ride stuck in one position while riders were in the air ...

A new study reveals how C210, a curcumin derivative, selectively reactivates Epstein–Barr virus to kill cancer cells without infectious risks, paving the way for safer, targeted cancer therapies.

ABSTRACT: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects over 90% of the global population, establishing latent infections in most individuals. Under specific conditions like inflammation and immune suppression, ...
