H5N1 influenza is evolving rapidly, weakening the effectiveness of existing antibodies and increasing its potential threat to ...

One scientist has spent 30 years studying a virus so ubiquitous that it’s estimated to affect 80% of the global population.

The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, "phages." ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed "molecular movie" showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level – revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying ...

Explore the groundbreaking role of Aspirin and plant-based NSAIDs in tackling inflammation and enhancing overall health.

Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the ...

It’s important to note that researchers are likely at least 10 to 30 years away from creating mirror bacteria. On the timescale of a fast-moving field like synthetic biology, a decade is a very long ...

Judit Pénzes, Ph.D., a virologist, joined the Texas A&M Department of Entomology as an assistant professor specializing in insect virology.

Researchers hope the study can eventually find a way to predict when blooms will occur, and how to reduce their effects on ...
