As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

Red ginseng can help block influenza A by activating the body’s natural ability to eliminate virus-infected cells, a research team from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology said on ...

Researchers have shown for the first time how Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), which causes an aggressive skin cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma, initiates DNA replication in host cells. University ...

The replication of potentially harmful adenoviruses can be significantly reduced in human cells in cell culture by using the so-called CRISPR-Cas9 system ("gene scissors"). This method, which is used ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

This new resource aims to change that by providing a detailed framework for understanding how different cancers maintain ...

Most of an animal cell’s DNA is stored in its nucleus, packaged into chromosomes that help maintain order. But cancer cells often carry another type of DNA: molecules separate from the rest of the ...

Research revealed how bacteriophages use a tiny piece of genetic material to hijack bacterial cells and make more copies of themselves.
