Viruses are sneaky intruders, hijacking the internal machinery of host cells and replicating out of sight. Understanding these dynamics is the first step to developing effective antiviral strategies ...

A 2026 review examines how the host RNA-binding protein PTBP1 can support or restrict viral translation, replication and ...

A new review maps the orthohantavirus life cycle for chemotherapeutic intervention, evaluating entry inhibitors, polymerase ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected danger lurking inside cells: too much RNA can damage the structures responsible for ...

For decades scientists have recognized that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a formidable viral pathogen. After years of probing work and extensive experimentation, a Yale research team has ...

A team of scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg and the University of Regensburg has unveiled insights into how HIV-1, the virus responsible for ...

They say that change takes time. Well, that's not the case for RNA. The small biological molecule acts like a switchboard operator, capable of changing its shape every few milliseconds so it can ...

For decades, the arrival of the monsoon season across India and tropical nations has brought an overwhelming wave of dengue ...

In simple terms: a virus is a tiny package of genetic instructions with a delivery system. Outside a cell it is metabolically inert. Once inside a susceptible cell, it redirects the cell's machinery ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.
