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

You're walking around right now carrying the genetic fingerprints of infections that happened millions of years ago. Deep inside your cells, woven into the very fabric of your DNA, sit sequences that ...

The origin of life on Earth becomes even more fascinating and complex as we peer into the mysterious world of viruses. Said to have existed since living cells first appeared, these microscopic ...

Researchers have discovered viruses transported to the International Space Station evolve differently than on Earth in a ...

Our results provide mechanistic evidence that immune responses to EBV can directly damage the brain in MS,” said Olivia Thomas, PhD, assistant professor at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience at ...

Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis arise when the immune system turns against the body itself. Yet for most of ...

If we want to prevent viral infections or develop drugs that can effectively treat them, those infections have to be investigated and understood. As such, scientists have long been researching viruses ...

Most influenza viruses enter human or animal cells through specific pathways on the cells' surface. Researchers at the University of Zurich have now discovered that certain human flu viruses and avian ...

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

Infection with Zika virus in pregnancy can lead to neurological disorders, fetal abnormalities and fetal death. Until now, how the virus manages to cross the placenta, which nurtures the developing ...

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

In a new study, we and an international team scientists examined the behavior of marine viruses in a large band of ...
