The dengue virus has a roughly spherical shape. Inside the virus is the nucleocapsid, which is made of the viral genome and C proteins. The nucleocapsid is surrounded by a membrane called the ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and the Singapore General Hospital have discovered that T cells—white blood cells ...

Understanding the differences between bacteria and viruses is crucial for recognizing how these microorganisms impact our ...

We take an unconventional approach to study how cells work, we use viruses! After millions of years of evolution, these miniaturised 'trojan horses' have learned all the 'PIN codes' and 'passwords' to ...

Viruses are tiny agents that can infect a variety of living organisms, including bacteria, plants, and animals. Like other viruses, the dengue virus is a microscopic structure that can only ...

Scientists have developed an innovative therapeutic platform by mimicking the intricate structures of viruses using artificial intelligence (AI).

Researchers at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa have made an exciting discovery: a virus found in the ocean called FloV-SA2 carries the genetic instructions for making part of a ribosome—a crucial ...
