When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, which could now help to ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza (“flu”) viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, developed at ETH ...

Infection with Zika virus in pregnancy can lead to neurological disorders, fetal abnormalities and fetal death. Until now, how the virus manages to cross the placenta, which nurtures the developing ...

On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different ...

Even in death, cells leave a trace. Scientists have discovered a microscopic “Footprint of Death” that not only helps the immune system clean up but can also give viruses a new way to spread infection ...

When scientists sent bacteria-infecting viruses to the International Space Station, the microbes did not behave the same way ...

In a new study, we and an international team scientists examined the behavior of marine viruses in a large band of ...

A new study shows the intricacies of the cold virus and how it interacts with nasal airway cells, revealing why some people are hit harder than others.

New research reveals how ocean viruses burst algae cells, fueling a subsurface oxygen band through rapid microbial recycling.

Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the immune system erroneously attacks a protective insulation that surrounds neurons ...
