The technology, called the Viral-Engineered RNA-based Activation System (VERAS), hijacks the virus's own replication ...

The herpesvirus can manipulate our DNA with far more precision than previously thought. The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for ...

Researchers at Utah State University have reported a previously unrecognised CRISPR immune response in which a bacterial ...

Zika virus hijacks a key protein implicated in brain development for its own replication. Researchers led by Associate Professor Priya Shah at the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their potential use in a host of biotechnological processes to benefit humankind, from ...

Single-cell analysis helps uncover how the BK virus replicates, opening the door to new drug targets. BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. Without a complete ...

The global pandemic may be over, but SARS-CoV-2 continues to infect people around the world. Indeed, the United States has recorded roughly 750 deaths from COVID-19 over the past month. Now, an siRNA ...
