A new study, by Dr. Michael Martynowycz from the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute (HWI), and researchers at UCLA, and HHMI, reveals how viruses hijack cellular condensates to assemble and ...

This story is part of a larger series on viroids and virusoids, small infectious RNAs. It is also the fifth installment in a series on hepatitis D virus, a virusoid-like pathogen that causes serious ...

A study uncovers the viral gene that lets bird flu beat fever, reshaping surveillance strategies as H5N1 continues to spread.

Bird flu viruses are a particular threat to humans because they can replicate at temperatures higher than a typical fever, ...

As obligate intracellular pathogens, viruses require host-derived nucleotides, amino acids, and lipids, among others, and the bioavailability of these metabolites can restrict or promote virus ...

It’s crucial that we monitor bird flu strains to help us prepare for potential outbreaks," said virologist Matt Turnbull.

BOZEMAN – Matthew Taylor likened his recently published work alongside doctoral student Gary Dunn to kicking over a rock. Once the discovery was made, it was time to see what lay beneath. Taylor, an ...

Researchers have shown for the first time how Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), which causes an aggressive skin cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma, initiates DNA replication in host cells. University ...

University of Pittsburgh researchers have shown for the first time how Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), which causes an aggressive skin cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma, initiates DNA replication in ...

New research shows feverish temperatures make it more difficult for viruses to hijack our cells. A mouse study suggests it's ...

Researchers have completed an analysis of ocean water from all over the globe and found thousands of previously undiscovered viruses. The study focused on RNA viruses, like COVID, which can replicate ...
