A recent experimental treatment may offer a new method to prevent HIV infection: by combining two antiviral tactics into a single antibody. In laboratory studies, the new molecule forced the virus to ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Cologne has identified a protein called ANKIB1 that acts as a volume dial for the body’s frontline immune defenses, controlling how strongly cells ...

Hantaviruses, transmitted from rodents to people, have a death rate approaching 40%. They're found around the world, and ...

New research shows how small shifts in the molecular makeup of a virus can profoundly alter its fate. These shifts could turn a deadly pathogen into a harmless bug or supercharge a relatively benign ...

Caught in action: A research team has revealed how the molecular copying machine of the influenza virus, termed FluPol, interacts with the human copying machinery inside the infected cell to steal the ...

Herpes simplex virus partially liquefies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a new study shows. The research centers on how the nucleus of each human cell ...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains an urgent global health concern, affecting hundreds of millions of people and significantly heightening the risk of severe liver complications, including ...
