Researchers have discovered that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks three important host proteins that dampen the activity of the complement system, a key component of early antiviral immunity. This significantly ...

Study reveals how viruses invade cells by exploiting host proteins, with findings that may help in pre-pandemic preparedness.

Scientists investigating animal viruses with potential to infect humans have identified a critical protein that could enable spillover of a family of organisms called arteriviruses.

As of now, 17 states have reported H5N1 bird flu cases in humans, but there is still no evidence for transmission between people and the infections have been mild. Could that change?

Like humans and other complex multicellular organisms, single-celled bacteria can fall ill and fight off viral infections. A ...
