Some viruses mutate more rapidly than others. Learn more about why that is and what that means for your health.

DNA scaffolds that mirror influenza virus protein geometry boost antiviral binding and reduce infection more effectively than ...

Most of them come from a subset of viruses called retroviruses, which infect host cells and then trick them into making the ...

A study conducted in Spain found monkeypox virus DNA in various body fluid samples. Here a medical laboratory technician picks up from a fridge a bucket with suspected monkeypox samples to be tested ...

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a new method to treat viral infections by making traps. The team folded DNA into nano-capsules with specialized binding points ...

Researchers have discovered a tube-shaped structure that forms temporarily in a certain type of virus to deliver its DNA during the infection process and then dissolves after its job is completed. The ...

Neanderthals may have caught the same viruses that cause modern colds, cold sores, and some cancers. It's possible ancient humans introduced these unfamiliar viruses to their relatives. Understanding ...

Illinois researchers developed a nanorobotic hand made of DNA that can grab viruses for detection or inhibition. In this artist’s rendering, three “NanoGripper” hands wrap around a COVID-19 virus.

D imaging reveals ancient phages virus with features dating back billions of years - and potential to fight today’s dangerous ...

DNA is the genetic material used by every living organism. But, in a few edge cases, the four bases of DNA—adenine, thymidine, cytosine, and guanine—undergo chemical modifications. And in viruses, ...

Modern humans, known as Homo sapiens, are not the only type of humans. There have been several other species of humans throughout history though we are the lone surviving group. In November 2013, ...
