Plant RNA viruses pose a significant threat to global agriculture, affecting a vast array of crop species and leading to ...

Because they rely on hosts for a majority of functions, viruses aren’t considered alive. But entities like ‘Sukunaarchaeum ...

If we don’t invest in technologies like mRNA vaccines for pandemic influenza now, once a virus starts going human-to-human, ...

HSV-1 co-opts two genes — RNA polymerase II (RNAP 2) and DNA topoisomerase (TOP1) — that compact the host’s chromatin into super-dense bundles. Chromatin is the DNA-protein complex that, when ...

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiated in the acute phase of HIV infection (AHI) results in a smaller viral reservoir. However, the impact of early HIV-specific T-cell responses on long-term reservoir ...

Nirsevimab offers consistent and sustained protection against hospitalisation due to RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection for at least 6 months. This finding provides global health systems ...

Respiratory viruses, such as influenza A virus and SARS-CoV-2, continue to pose significant global health challenges. Current antivirals, which are often specific to a single virus, face limitations ...
