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 ...

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 ...

New research shows that deltaviruses can sneak into cells by hitchhiking inside other viruses, highlighting a previously ...

For the first time, scientists have been able to watch the flu virus live as it infects human airway cells. They developed a new technique which makes the viral genetic material light up under the ...

Most influenza viruses enter human or animal cells through specific pathways on the cells’ surface. Researchers at the University of Zurich have now discovered that certain human flu viruses and avian ...

Ongoing research aims to confirm the mechanism by which ICP4 fluidizes the nucleus, which could indicate specific targets to counter viral replication.

Bird flu viruses may pack a little taste of home to help them adapt to life in new hosts. Despite plenty of instances of bird flu viruses infecting people, scientists weren’t sure exactly how the ...

Tick-borne encephalitis virus can infect the nervous system and cause life-threatening illness. Finding the cellular gateway it uses could transform prevention and treatment. Read the paper: LRP8 is a ...

Researchers from the Centenary Institute and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) have developed a human heart cell ...
