The data revealed 82 specific locations (or loci) in the human genome associated with viral DNA load, especially in the Major ...

Despite their name, giant viruses are difficult to visualize in detail. They are too big for conventional electron microscopy, yet too small for optical microscopy used to study larger specimen. Now, ...

We’ll understand if you’re puzzled by the eerie image below. It’s a tiny piece of the Lassa virus, which can double a person over in pain, make their head swell and, in some cases, quickly result in ...

Bacteriophages or “phages” is the terms used for viruses that infect bacteria. The UAB researchers, led by Terje Dokland, Ph.D., in collaboration with Asma Hatoum-Aslan, Ph.D., at the University of ...

For the first time, researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, can now show how the dreaded poliovirus behaves when it takes over an infected cell and tricks the cell into producing new virus particles.

How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...

A giant inflatable E. coli has appeared in central Brno, highlighting the city’s electron microscopy tradition and the ...

A new way of imaging frozen biological samples using electron microscopy is providing new glimpses into the nanoscopic world of cells. Images reveal bent in-vitro tubulin microtubules next to and in a ...
