Researchers at Umeå University show how tick-borne viruses remodel human cells into virus factories, using an advanced ...

Forget about locating molecules in the blink of an eye, which takes as long as a quarter second—far too long a time to distinguish a sequence of subcellular events. Instead, try doing what Stanford ...

Scientists at Duke University have created a real-time video that captures the frantic movements of a single virus as it tries to infect a cell. The video shows a part of the process that’s normally ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Composite of three mages from new microscope technology show a cell's replication machinery in green, already-replicated DNA is ...

Clusters of T cells, that are part of our immune system protecting us against harmful pathogens, under a microscope. By studying them, Duke-NUS scientists have found that T cells can independently ...

The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us all the importance of educating the public about viral infections. Besides educating the general public, we need to equip the next generation of scientists by ...

The COVID-19 pandemic led to heightened public interest in learning about viruses and how they can cause diseases. There has been a lot of focus on communicating virology concepts to the general ...

The deadly Nipah virus and others like it assemble themselves in a much more haphazard manner than previously thought, new UBC research has found. The discovery could allow scientists to develop more ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...
