Viruses, like those that cause COVID-19 or HIV, are formidable opponents once they invade our bodies. Antiviral treatments strive to block a virus or halt its replication. However, viruses are dynamic ...
New research shows how surface material and temperature change how long viruses survive and whether they can still spread.
Giant viruses may try out all sorts of funky lewks. New images reveal the varied — and sometimes whimsical — shapes of hundreds of potential soil-dwelling giant viruses. One shape is dubbed “haircut” ...
Bioengineers have found a way to program the size and shape of virus particles by combining viral protein building blocks and templates made from DNA. The resulting nanostructures could have ...
Colorized transmission electron micrograph of influenza A/H3N2 virus particles, isolated from a patient sample and then propagated in cell culture. Influenza A virus particles adapt shape—as filaments ...
(Nanowerk News) Bioengineers have found a way to program the size and shape of virus particles by combining viral protein building blocks and templates made from DNA. The resulting nanostructures ...
Archaeal viruses represent a remarkably diverse group infecting a domain of life distinct from both bacteria and eukaryotes. Their genomic characteristics often reveal novel gene repertoires and ...
