A newly identified virus–cell hybrid structure allows viruses to spread faster and more aggressively by hitching a ride on ...

Scientists have captured an unprecedented, real-time view of influenza viruses as they move across and slip inside human cells. The footage reveals that cells are far from passive targets and instead ...

Scientists have discovered a shocking new way viruses can spread — and it’s faster and deadlier than ever. Meet “Migrions,” a ...

Washington State University researchers have found a way to modulate a common virus protein to prevent viruses from entering cells where it can cause illness, a discovery that could someday lead to ...

When a pathogen like a dangerous virus invades the human body, it usually has to enter human cells to cause an illness. Influenza has to latch onto a receptor on the surface of a human cell so it can ...

"The infection of our body cells is like a dance between virus and cell," suggested Yohei Yamauchi at ETH Zurich. With their new system, the team watched how single flu virus particles move across the ...

Bacteria use a short RNA guide to detect viruses and activate a self-destruct mechanism that protects the wider microbial ...

Insect cell lines have emerged as critical platforms for the production of recombinant proteins, vaccines and other biopharmaceuticals. Their ability to perform post‐translational modifications and to ...

CAR T cell therapy is one of the most promising new cancer treatments to emerge in recent years. It involves removing a patient's own immune T cells and engineering them to recognize specific targets ...

Although bioprocessors employ cell cultures to develop new treatments for viral infections, viral contamination can stymy any cell culture-based process, including the development of most any ...

Rare case shows a man living virus free for years after stopping treatment, raising new questions about how the immune system ...
