A common plant virus awakens the immune system to fight cancer—and it’s grown using sunlight, soil, and science.

Dr. Don Morris, an oncologist at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary and his colleagues used a reovirus — a respiratory virus commonly found in the environment — to kill prostate cancer cells.

Millions of people who recover from infections like COVID-19, influenza and glandular fever are affected by long-lasting ...

A virus from humble black-eyed peas is showing extraordinary promise in the fight against cancer. Unlike other plant viruses, the cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) can awaken the human immune system and ...

Cells are infected directly In order to find out more, the research group is using a cell model that was developed at the Research Department of Neuroscience. It enables them to study for the first ...

New Delhi: Amid a fresh wave of COVID-19, Israeli researchers have discovered that a protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus can cause the immune system to attack healthy cells mistakenly. The study ...

When SARS-CoV-2 infects a cell, it hijacks the host’s protein synthesis machinery to make new virus copies. However, these viral proteins also target host proteins, causing them to malfunction.

A virus that typically infects black-eyed peas is showing great promise as a low-cost, potent cancer immunotherapy-and researchers are uncovering why.

Once the body learns to recognize SARS-CoV-2, either after infection or vaccination, B cells generate fresh antibodies against the virus if there are not already enough antibodies circulating in ...

Half a dozen novel compounds derived from sea sponges are able to inhibit human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in infected cells, according to a newly published study from Simon Fraser University.

Scientists are keen to capture the entire infection process to learn more about how a virus, like the COVID-19 coronavirus, can get past the mucous layer and into cells, like those found in the ...
