The International Space Station (ISS) is a closed ecosystem, and the biology inside it — including its microbial residents — ...

Planthoppers and leafhoppers not only feed on rice plants but also act as highly efficient vectors for plant viruses, causing substantial yield losses worldwide. Notably, their persistent ability to ...

A virus found lurking inside a deadly fungus may make the microbe even stronger and harder to kill when it infects people. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Soil viruses control the dynamics and metabolism of their hosts, strongly modifying carbon and nutrient cycling as well as soil biochemistry. Warming specifically affects viruses and their hosts, but ...

Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team has developed a method that can be used to study the interaction of viruses with host cells in unprecedented ...

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we consider if bacteriophages could become our biggest allies in the fight against antibiotic resistance. Then we cover the historical role of "night soil men ...

A new study reveals how C210, a curcumin derivative, selectively reactivates Epstein–Barr virus to kill cancer cells without infectious risks, paving the way for safer, targeted cancer therapies.

ABSTRACT: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects over 90% of the global population, establishing latent infections in most individuals. Under specific conditions like inflammation and immune suppression, ...

A new study gets scientists closer to more fully understanding where viruses fit into the global ocean picture of cycling nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and, of particular interest, carbon.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The microbes that cycle nutrients in the ocean don’t do the work on their own – the viruses that infect them also influence the process. It’s a vital job for the rest of the planet, ...
