AI can now create genome viruses in laboratories and redesign toxins to evade controls, raising biosafety alert and rise of ...

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 ...

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 research team has found. The discovery improves understanding of how viruses work and could ...

Over the millennia, viruses have become excellent manipulators of biology. But there’s a lot that scientists don’t know about how viruses work, in part because they have relatively little insight into ...

Engineered mini organs from the most common bat species have been developed to study infections by key viruses, including COVID-19 and influenza. A team led by researchers from the Institute for Basic ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have built a cancer therapy that makes bacteria and viruses work as a team. In a study published today in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the Synthetic Biological ...

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 ...

Researchers have unearthed nearly 1,700 ancient virus species hidden within the glacial ice of the Himalayas. These viruses, around three-quarters of which were previously unknown to science, were ...

Picture this: a computer sitting in a lab, essentially “thinking up” brand new forms of life from scratch. That’s exactly what just happened at Stanford and the Arc Institute, where researchers used ...

The world’s largest bat organoid platform, which promises improvement in the study of zoonotic viruses, has been newly developed by scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Korea. By ...
