New research shows how surface material and temperature change how long viruses survive and whether they can still spread.

A type of virus thought to be a 'mere curiosity' is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a research team has found. The discovery improves understanding of how viruses work and could ...

This work represents the first published simulations demonstrating how a virus as large as a soccer ball, or an even larger one like hepatitis B (T=4), can assemble step by step, shedding light on ...

BOZEMAN – Matthew Taylor likened his recently published work alongside doctoral student Gary Dunn to kicking over a rock. Once the discovery was made, it was time to see what lay beneath. Taylor, an ...

For centuries, the nature of a fever — and whether it's good or bad — has been hotly contested. In ancient Greece, the physician Hippocrates thought that fever had useful qualities, and could cook an ...

Researchers discovered how rabies virus exerts massive control over host cells with very few genes. A key viral protein changes shape and binds RNA, allowing it to infiltrate different cellular ...

A type of virus thought to be a ‘mere curiosity’ is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a Monash University-led research team has found. The discovery improves understanding of how ...
