Summary A head cold can happen after exposure to various viruses, most commonly rhinoviruses. Head colds can cause symptoms such as a runny nose, headaches, and a cough.

For many viruses, capsids (biological nanoparticles) assemble to protect genetic material and dissociate to release their cargo. To understand these contradictory properties, we analyzed capsid ...

Common colds, on the other hand, are caused by viruses. While the most common culprit is rhinovirus, other fast-spreading viruses such as the flu or RSV can cause cold-like symptoms. Given their viral ...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved Gilead Sciences lenacapavir, a twice-yearly injection, for preventing HIV infection in adults and adolescents.

Rhinovirus was the cause of 25% of all admissions, among the total of 340 under 2-year olds diagnosed with fever or respiratory tract infection.

Phytoviruses depend on intercellular movement to implement systemic infection, which is controlled by several biological macromolecules from pathogens and hosts. Strategically interrupting this ...

The capsid, in some cases, is surrounded by a membranous envelope (like the caramel on a caramel apple), which protects it and helps it catch hold of a cell.
