Researchers have discovered viruses transported to the International Space Station evolve differently than on Earth in a ...

Infection with Zika virus in pregnancy can lead to neurological disorders, fetal abnormalities and fetal death. Until now, how the virus manages to cross the placenta, which nurtures the developing ...

When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, which could now help to ...

Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team has developed a method that can be used to study the interaction of viruses with host cells in unprecedented ...

On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different ...

When scientists sent bacteria-infecting viruses to the International Space Station, the microbes did not behave the same way ...

A new study shows that the body’s early immune response, not the virus itself, often determines how severe a rhinovirus cold ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza (“flu”) viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, developed at ETH ...

Even in death, cells leave a trace. Scientists have discovered a microscopic “Footprint of Death” that not only helps the immune system clean up but can also give viruses a new way to spread infection ...
