Future long COVID research could start to look at the viruses that naturally hang out in our bodies and mimic our own ...

Disseminated cancer cells can persist in distant tissues for years after apparently successful treatment. Although these ...

How might flu or COVID-19 affect cancer cells that have remained dormant? Research in mice suggests respiratory infections ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC), and Utrecht University have found the first direct evidence that common ...

New research published in Nature Reviews Disease Primers is shedding light on the surprisingly broad range of neurological and systemic diseases that can be caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV), the ...

The varicella zoster virus (VZV), an infectious virus from the herpes virus family, is primarily known to cause varicella in children and shingles in adults. But lately, this virus has also been ...

In a recent study published in Nature, an international team of researchers showed that respiratory viral infections awaken dormant breast cancer cells in the lungs. Breast cancer is the most ...

A study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has found evidence that points to an unexpected source of bacteria that can cause hospital-associated infections: the ...

Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. After patients go into remission, there may still be undetected cancer cells lying dormant through ...

The worry that breast cancer may someday return is a troubling source of anxiety for many survivors of the disease. It’s understandable why, since most relapses and metastatic cancers (cancers that ...

In a new study, researchers show how so‑called TriPcides can target the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, including antibiotic‑resistant strains such as MRSA. The compounds disrupt the bacteria's ...

HIV is famously hard to defeat because it hides. Standard treatment can drive the virus down to undetectable levels, but it ...
