Inject this synthetic phage into E. coli and it kills better than the real thing A group of Stanford bioengineers claim that they've created synthetic bacteriophages using AI-generated designs that ...

Also, there’s still no easy way to test AI designs for larger genomes. While some viruses can “boot up” from just a DNA ...

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 ...

CoV-2—the virus that causes COVID-19—continues to pose a global health threat, driven by new variants and its ability to ...

Nearly $6 million in new NIH grants will enable Penn State researcher and colleagues to investigate how Zika virus replicates and crosses the placenta to infect unborn children UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — ...

New research in the journal Nature Communications gives scientists an important window into how Ebola virus replicates inside host cells. The study, led by scientists at La Jolla Institute for ...

This story is part of a larger series on viroids and virusoids, small infectious RNAs. It is also the fifth installment in a series on hepatitis D virus, a virusoid-like pathogen that causes serious ...

Ivan Erill receives funding from the US National Science Foundation. He is affiliated with the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Have you ever wondered whether the virus that gave you a nasty cold ...

Viruses are tiny agents that can infect a variety of living organisms, including bacteria, plants, and animals. Like other viruses, the dengue virus is a microscopic structure that can only replicate ...

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 ...

CoV-2—the virus that causes COVID-19—continues to pose a global health threat, driven by new variants and its ability to hijack human cells in ways that still aren’t fully understood. Now, scientists ...
