Cells have evolved ingenious ways to defend themselves from viral attack. Research from The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute ...

A research team from Kumamoto University has made a new discovery that reveals how the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 ...

The Northwestern paper describes how Zika virus, through a protein called NS5, targets a cellular antiviral immune response mediator, STAT2, to escape detection by host cells.

Killer immune cells destroy cancer cells and cells infected by virus. These CD8 + T cells are activated after detection of ...

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

A study takes a closer look at a virus that causes tumors in monkeys called SV40. The unique way it infects a cell's nucleus could underpin its ability to cause cancer.

The virus touches down on the cell like a spider landing on a balloon 1,000 times its size. It has six thin legs splayed underneath a body that resembles a syringe with a bulbous head.

To efficiently infect human cells, SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is able to use a receptor called Neuropilin-1, which is very abundant in many human tissues including the respiratory ...
