Using a new cell model, researchers can for the first time study how hepatitis E viruses affect nerve cells. Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect ...

Researchers at Mass General Brigham have modified a herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) that stimulates the immune system to attack glioblastoma cells. A single dose of the modified virus increased T-cell, ...

A new study shows that the body’s early immune response, not the virus itself, often determines how severe a rhinovirus cold ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...

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 ...

A newly identified mechanism lends credence to the idea that MS may be treatable by targeting EBV-infected B-cells, a study found.

Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have used lab-grown human nasal tissue to show that a fast interferon response can ...

A new study shows the intricacies of the cold virus and how it interacts with nasal airway cells, revealing why some people ...

Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis arise when the immune system turns against the body itself. Yet for most of them, it remains unclear why this process begins. Researchers have now ...
