COVID-19 can cause a long list of health issues, including flu symptoms, respiratory problems and even organ damage, according to medical experts — but a new study suggests that the virus could have a ...

A modified herpes virus boosted immune T cell infiltration in glioblastoma tumors and was associated with improved survival.

Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect other organs and cause neurological disorders. Little is yet known about how this process works. A research ...

In recent years, scientists have discovered that some chemotherapy drugs not only kill cancer cells directly, but at least in some patients, mysteriously also trigger their immune system to attack the ...

Scientists have captured a never-before-seen, high-resolution look at influenza’s stealthy invasion of human cells, revealing that the cells aren’t just helpless victims. Using a groundbreaking ...

We often hear that the coronavirus is finding better ways to attack cells, but the virus does not have an intentional purpose of spreading. Viruses happen to attach and infect cells by obeying the ...

A dual-action HIV antibody–drug conjugate forces Env to open, then blocks it, boosting virus neutralization up to tenfold in the lab.

Left: A normal cell where the RNA molecule NORAD allows the STAT3 protein to enter the nucleus and prevent unnecessary immune system activation. Right: When the cell is attacked by a virus, NORAD is ...

Why do immune cells that are supposed to eliminate viruses suddenly turn against our own body? There are instances where killer T cells—which are meant to precisely remove virus-infected ...

Hepatitis E is a common disease worldwide, but it often remains undetected. “There’s no precise data on how often the infection affects the neurological system,” says Michelle Jagst. What is known is ...

Scientists have finally watched influenza viruses break into living human cells in real time, catching the microscopic invaders as they latch on, glide across the surface and slip inside. Instead of a ...
