Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape -- to become either spheres or larger filaments -- to favor their ability to infect cells depending on environmental conditions, according ...

The Sudan virus, a close relative of Ebola, has a fatality rate of 50% but remains poorly understood in terms of how it infects cells. Currently, no approved treatments exist. To address this critical ...

Meet the jumbo phage. Scientists believe they’ve cracked the code on how its ‘secret handshakes’ act as a shield against the ...

In a breakthrough for influenza research, scientists have discovered immune cells that can recognize influenza (flu) viruses ...

Flu cases are through the roof across the US right now. And, while cold and flu season always packs a punch, it feels like ...

Flu viruses have eight segments of their genome. When two different flu viruses infect a cell at the same time, they can swap whole segments of their genomes to create hybrid viruses that may have ...

While Zika has been reported in more than 90 countries, surprisingly little is known about what exactly drives Zika ...
