Researchers have revealed that the presence of Nora virus in fruit flies can increase their sensitivity to bacterial ...

Researchers at Umeå University have discovered that the SARS-CoV-2 variant omicron has developed a stronger binding to human ...

In a series of experiments, the scientists show that this virus, HKU5-CoV-2, can efficiently infect cells of humans and a wide range of other animal cells. The findings raise the possibility that ...

The spikes are critical for how the virus gets into human cells, so antibodies that lock onto those structures might stop the virus from entering cells. But the evidence is mounting that targeting ...

However, researchers have stated that further testing is necessary to determine the actual risk. Notably, the study also ...

In extensive cell experiments, the researchers then ... part of the virus will still recognize and neutralize the virus. The ...

A government lab finds a novel virus present in cell lines used for therapeutic production that were thought to be virus-free. Kerry served as The Scientist’s news director until 2021. Before joining ...

For only five percent of those, we have actual medication that you can use to treat ... in theory, cordon the virus off from a potential host cell and prevent infection, though the team didn’t test ...

How does the dengue virus infect a cell and replicate itself? In this section, we will explore the answers to these questions. In 1943, Ren Kimura and Susumu Hotta first isolated the dengue virus.

Zika virus uses stealth. Zika virus slips into dendritic cells and blocks the dendritic cells from alerting nearby T cells to danger. It's the classic horror movie cliche -- the creeper is already in ...

Rather, the virus is thought to remain latent in a subset of cells, where it avoids elimination by the immune system. In this state the virus is capable of reactivation of productive infection ...

A new study suggests the presence of Nora virus in laboratory strains of Drosophila fruit flies influences their resilience to stress and bacterial infection and can confound experimental studies of ...
