This week, we examine the threat of human papilloma virus — or HPV — to our bodies and the rationale for protecting our kids and ourselves from its potential to ...

A newly isolated giant virus shows bizarre features inside infected cells, and its unusual structure hints at deeper ...

A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...

Coinfection with RSV and RV is common in hospitalized children, but the impact of order of infection on disease severity remains unclear, according to Emily Schultz, MPhil, a PhD candidate in ...

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have traced a deadly cat coronavirus in a way that changes what you think ...

For much of modern biology, scientists argued that viruses are not alive, pointing to a basic limitation: they cannot make proteins on their own and must depend entirely on the cells they infect for ...

Different DNA Structures Nucleate the Folding of Proteins to form specific complexes that modulate the readout of ...

Researchers in China recently published a study in Science Translational Medicine describing a new antibody cocktail for ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

The atomic structural analysis also revealed the role of the so-called capping enzyme. It is stably integrated into the ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn’t replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides – which they need to do constantly. Without this process, we ...
