Flu viruses that can use a second cellular entry point may move more effectively between animals and humans, scientists say. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

The process by which phages -- viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria -- enter cells has been studied for over 50 years. In a new study, researchers have used cutting-edge techniques to ...

One of the reasons why hepatitis E is comparatively under-investigated is that a robust cell culture model for its study was only developed about three years ago in Bochum and Hanover. Researchers ...

Somebody just coughed on you. On a plane. At a dinner party. In a supermarket line. If only there were a "morning after" nasal spray that could knock out respiratory viruses' ability to colonize your ...

A mutation on the spike protein of the virus that causes COVID-19 could help it infect the brain by forcing it to use a cellular "back door." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

The SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for COVID-19 can cause severe acute respiratory syndrome, contrasting with other coronaviruses that were known to cause mild seasonal colds prior to its emergence in ...

The process of brain cell fusion has been recently implicated in the progression of central nervous system (CNS) viral ...

Left: A normal cell where the RNA molecule NORAD allows the STAT3 protein to enter the nucleus and prevent unnecessary immune system activation. Right: When the cell is attacked by a virus, NORAD is ...

Researchers at The University of Queensland have discovered viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 can cause brain cells to fuse, initiating malfunctions that lead to chronic neurological symptoms. Professor ...

New research has found that viruses such as the one that causes COVID-19 can cause brain cells to fuse together and malfunction. The findings might explain the ‘brain fog’ and other neurological ...
