Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a live-imaging system, Phollow, that tracks individual ...

Traditionally, viruses have been thought of as a burden that cause disease. Now, viruses are being harnessed to tackle ...

To conceptualize this transformation, let's examine the replication of retroviruses, the family of viruses to which HIV belongs. This process very closely mirrors the movement of an important ...

What scientists can agree on is that a virus adapts to new conditions, evolves and sometimes harms humans. It is also an infectious agent that can only replicate within a host organism such as ...

Cleveland Clinic virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to ...

He also points out that the system only works for viruses that replicate in a host cell’s nucleus, while most giant viruses replicate in cytoplasmic structures called viral factories, which the Cas9 ...

Virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how our bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. The publication explains ...

Put simply, a virus does not replicate or function independently. So by the biological definition, a virus cannot be categorized as a living organism. But from a genetic and evolutionary point of ...
