Scientists have captured a never-before-seen, high-resolution look at influenza’s stealthy invasion of human cells, revealing that the cells aren’t just helpless victims. Using a groundbreaking ...

We often hear that the coronavirus is finding better ways to attack cells, but the virus does not have an intentional purpose of spreading. Viruses happen to attach and infect cells by obeying the ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body's gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread. A new study also shows that an already approved drug could help strengthen immune defenses -- though its ...

Cells actively help to capture and incorporate influenza viruses. Here, a cell is shown, with a virus in the centre of the image. Fever, aching limbs and a runny nose – as winter returns, so too does ...

The Epstein-Barr virus seems to affect gene expression and cell signalling in a way that causes the autoimmune condition ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital immunologists have identified the protein trigger in the body's quick-reaction innate immune system that specifically recognizes the influenza virus in infected ...

A research team from Bochum and Hannover shows that the hepatitis E virus also attacks organs other than the liver. The hepatitis E virus (HEV) causes severe liver inflammation. A research team from ...
