Picture this: a computer sitting in a lab, essentially “thinking up” brand new forms of life from scratch. That’s exactly what just happened at Stanford and the Arc Institute, where researchers used ...

Research at the Cavanilles Institute of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology of the University of Valencia, led by professor Rafael Sanjuán, reveals that viruses work in groups to attack host cells ...

A type of virus thought to be a 'mere curiosity' is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a research team has found. The discovery improves understanding of how viruses work and could ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have built a cancer therapy that makes bacteria and viruses work as a team. In a study published today in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the Synthetic Biological ...

This research comes as many mosquito-borne viruses are spreading rapidly. Zika virus and dengue virus are very close relatives. Both are mosquito-borne flaviviruses, and both specialize in infecting a ...

Researchers have tracked how the COVID-19 virus mutates long term, revealing patterns that could help predict the emergence of future variants. In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the world ...

Engineered mini organs from the most common bat species have been developed to study infections by key viruses, including COVID-19 and influenza. A team led by researchers from the Institute for Basic ...

A type of virus thought to be a ‘mere curiosity’ is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a Monash University-led research team has found. The discovery improves understanding of how ...
