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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

A new study shows the intricacies of the cold virus and how it interacts with nasal airway cells, revealing why some people ...
