Recent years have seen an explosion in our knowledge on the molecular interplay between viruses and their hosts. Plus-stranded RNA viruses, such as Sars-CoV-2 or Dengue virus, recruit cellular ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers examine the interactions between the influenza A virus and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in a ...

A research team at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, has identified a previously unknown cellular mechanism crucial to the ...

Viruses use the molecular repertoire of the host cell to replicate. Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation2 at the University of Bonn, together with Japanese researchers, want to ...

MADISON - A study of the reproductive apparatus of a model virus is bolstering the idea that broad classes of viruses - including those that cause important human diseases such as AIDS, SARS and ...

One of humanity's most ubiquitous infectious pathogens bears the blame for the chronic autoimmune condition called systemic ...

Using genomics, evolutionary biologists test several hypotheses on the origin of viruses. New evidence suggests they may have ...

Researchers at the University of Kansas have discovered a human gene, the protein PARP14, plays a role in regulating ...

Viroids are tiny strands of circular, infectious RNA. They differ from viruses in that they do not have a protective protein coat and that they do not encode any proteins of their own. They are also ...

Have you ever wondered whether the virus that gave you a nasty cold can catch one itself? It may comfort you to know that, yes, viruses can actually get sick. Even better, as karmic justice would have ...
