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 ...

For much of modern biology, scientists argued that viruses are not alive, pointing to a basic limitation: they cannot make proteins on their own and must depend entirely on the cells they infect for ...

As part of their effort to answer a decades-old biological question about how the hepatitis B virus (HBV) can establish an infection in liver cells, researchers led by teams at Memorial Sloan ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza (“flu”) viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, developed at ETH ...

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection dramatically remodels the host cell's nuclear structures. Infection leads to ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, which could now help to ...

Epstein–Barr virus infects most adults. Understanding its role in Multiple Sclerosis could transform prevention and treatment ...

Nearly all adults carry Epstein–Barr virus—but new research reveals how it can hijack immune cells, sparking a chronic disease that attacks the body from within. This colorized transmission electron ...

A live-cell imaging tool allowed researchers to follow influenza A virus through its life cycle in airway organoids, showing ...

A new study has overcome a long-standing challenge: how to isolate and study elusive HIV-infected cells called authentic reservoir clones (ARCs) that evade the immune system, making the disease ...
