Platelets, or thrombocytes, are specialized cellular fragments that form blood clots when we get scrapes and traumatic injuries. Conditions such as viral infections, autoimmune diseases,…
SARS-CoV-2 lineage EG.5.1 has an advantage at evading neutralizing antibodies. When vaccinated or infected, our immune system creates antibodies that target the spike protein of…
A research study found that without key proteins, the virus cannot infect people. Recent research from UC Riverside has identified COVID’s Achilles heel — its…
Researchers from China and Nottingham have identified mutational changes occurring in a subtype of avian flu virus endemic in poultry farms in China. These alterations…
Omicron variants, which spread rapidly worldwide, attach to cells more effectively and elude antibodies with greater efficiency compared to earlier variants. The omicron variants of…
The virus restructures infected cells to protect against antibody attacks. Scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have discovered that the virus causing chikungunya…
Commercially available mass spectrometers can be reliably used to detect the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, according to research from the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). In a…

After the initial U.S. stay-at-home directives to counteract the spread of COVID-19, gastrointestinal viruses like norovirus, rotavirus,, and adenovirus virtually vanished from Californian communities, maintaining…
Scientists have uncovered the mechanism by which poxviruses bypass cellular defenses and have identified existing drugs that can prevent this evasion. Researchers examining the methods…
Herpes viruses are treacherous: once they infect you, they remain with you for life. This is due to their ability to remain dormant within certain…
Bonnie Bassler and her research team have discovered that a multitude of viruses respond to quorum sensing, as well as other bacterial chemical signals. Viruses,…
