Virus. The word evokes images of illness and fears of outbreaks. Yet, in the oceans, not all viruses are bad news. Some play a helpful, even critical, role in sustaining marine life. In a new study, ...

Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape—to become either spheres or larger filaments—to favor their ability to infect cells depending on environmental conditions, according to a ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, which could now help to ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza (“flu”) viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, developed at ETH ...

Megan Baldridge and her co-workers will use their Global Grant for Gut Health (GGGH) to examine which human proteins interact with bacteriophage viruses in the gut, and how this might trigger ...

Researchers have discovered viruses transported to the International Space Station evolve differently than on Earth in a ...

On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different ...

New research shows how surface material and temperature change how long viruses survive and whether they can still spread.

If we want to prevent viral infections or develop drugs that can effectively treat them, those infections have to be investigated and understood. As such, scientists have long been researching viruses ...
