Surgeons at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston have injected a genetically engineered virus directly into the brain ...

We often hear that the coronavirus is finding better ways to attack cells, but the virus does not have an intentional purpose of spreading. Viruses happen to attach and infect cells by obeying the ...

Scientists have captured a never-before-seen, high-resolution look at influenza’s stealthy invasion of human cells, revealing that the cells aren’t just helpless victims. Using a groundbreaking ...

CAR-T cell therapy is already a potent treatment for certain cancers. Now, a small study is showing early promise for ...

How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...

A team led by investigators at Mass General Brigham and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has shown that a single injection of an oncolytic virus—a genetically modified virus that selectively infects and ...

Cells actively help to capture and incorporate influenza viruses. Here, a cell is shown, with a virus in the centre of the image. Fever, aching limbs and a runny nose – as winter returns, so too does ...

Can plant compounds help fight Ebola? Learn how natural molecules are showing promise in early antiviral research studies.

Scientists have finally watched influenza viruses break into living human cells in real time, catching the microscopic invaders as they latch on, glide across the surface and slip inside. Instead of a ...
