New research reveals how ocean viruses burst algae cells, fueling a subsurface oxygen band through rapid microbial recycling.

In a new study, we and an international team of scientists examined the behavior of marine viruses in a large band of ...

Across the world, only a few dozen people appear to carry a genetic glitch that lets them brush off viruses that flatten ...

A type of virus thought to be a 'mere curiosity' is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a research team has found. The discovery improves understanding of how viruses work and could ...

With antimicrobial resistance becoming a silent pandemic, researchers are gradually shifting their focus from formulating new antibiotics to exploring the potential of naturally occurring viruses in ...

This work represents the first published simulations demonstrating how a virus as large as a soccer ball, or an even larger one like hepatitis B (T=4), can assemble step by step, shedding light on ...

Members of a new class of antivirals are being tested in U.S. clinical trials, and one has gained approval in Japan, but how ...

Researchers discovered how rabies virus exerts massive control over host cells with very few genes. A key viral protein changes shape and binds RNA, allowing it to infiltrate different cellular ...

For centuries, the nature of a fever — and whether it's good or bad — has been hotly contested. In ancient Greece, the physician Hippocrates thought that fever had useful qualities, and could cook an ...

A type of virus thought to be a ‘mere curiosity’ is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a Monash University-led research team has found. The discovery improves understanding of how ...
