Seasonal influenza epidemics impose substantial burdens on healthcare systems and cause >5 million hospitalizations of adults each year.

B-1 immune cells can recognize all sorts of viruses, Yale researchers find. Mimicking them may enable a pan-virus treatment that can address many virus types.

The skills and connections Wells gained during that research project were essential to landing a position after graduation ...

Viral evolution refers to the heritable genetic changes that a virus accumulates during its life time, which can arise from adaptations in response to environmental changes or the immune response ...

Like humans and other complex multicellular organisms, single-celled bacteria can fall ill and fight off viral infections. A bacterial virus is caused by a bacteriophage, or, more simply, phage, which ...

Scientists investigating animal viruses with potential to infect humans have identified a critical protein that could enable spillover of a family of organisms called arteriviruses.

Study reveals how viruses invade cells by exploiting host proteins, with findings that may help in pre-pandemic preparedness.

Scientists investigating animal viruses with potential to infect humans have identified a critical protein that could enable spillover of a family of organisms called arteriviruses. In a new study, ...

The Schitoviridae family of phages “represents some of biology’s most understudied bacterial viruses, increasingly utilized in phage therapy,” Cingolani said. “We are using structural biology to ...

Rwanda is still grappling with its first outbreak of Marburg virus. A cousin to the Ebola virus, Marburg is one of the deadliest viruses known to science, with a fatality rate of about 88%.

Viruses lift these genes from the microbial ... and Wainaina is an assistant scientist in the Biology Department at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Additional co-authors include Cristina ...
