Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection dramatically remodels the host cell's nuclear structures. Infection leads to ...

Researchers recovered a 250-year-old cold virus from preserved lung tissue, offering rare insight into how respiratory viruses evolved.

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, ...

A virus that is big enough to be seen under an ordinary light microscope co-opts its host’s systems with the help of ...

In 1990, I finished my PhD on primate evolution and went to my postdoc in Davis, California, USA. It was meant to be on fruit fly ...

For the first time, scientists have been able to watch the flu virus live as it infects human airway cells. They developed a ...

Researchers found that Herpes simplex virus type 1 reorganizes nuclear speckles, essential sites for RNA processing. Without intact speckles, viral messenger RNAs cannot exit the nucleus, limiting ...

A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. The study reveals a ...

A live-cell imaging tool allowed researchers to follow influenza A virus through its life cycle in airway organoids, showing ...

For decades, biology textbooks have drawn a firm line: viruses are not alive. They lack the machinery to reproduce on their own, they carry no metabolism, and they depend entirely on host cells to ...

Science fiction fans can now stream the must-watch 1971 adaptation of Michael Crichton's The Andromeda Strain on Prime Video.
