Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for enteroviruses ...

Innovative research into the gene-editing tool targets influenza’s ability to replicate—stopping it in its tracks.

Researchers at Utah State University revealed new details about CRISPR immune system defenses, such as Cas12a3 systems, that ...

RNA viruses frequently bypass the conventional 5′ cap‐dependent mechanism of translation by employing alternative strategies that enable them to commandeer the host’s translational machinery. A ...

Have you ever wondered why you have to get a flu shot every year, but some vaccines are one-and-done? It all has to do with how and how fast viruses evolve - and that depends on mutation rates.

Scientists in Switzerland have cracked open a century-old viral mystery by decoding the genome of the 1918 influenza virus from a preserved Zurich patient. This ancient RNA revealed that the virus had ...

A study from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), published in Nature Communications, reveals how enteroviruses—including pathogens that cause polio, encephalitis, myocarditis, and the ...

RT-PCR detection of tick-borne encephalitis virus RNA in cerebrospinal fluid identified more severe disease and higher ...

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