SARS-CoV-2 protein found to spread between cells, triggering immune attack on healthy cells
A new study uncovers a surprising mechanism by which the SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for COVID-19, might cause immune-mediated tissue damage by targeting cells it has never infected. Published in ...
Viruses are masters at taking over our cells: They disable our defenses and hijack the cellular machinery in order to multiply successfully. For example, the herpes simplex virus 1, which causes ...
Microbiologists have long known that ancient, inactive viruses known as cryptic prophages can insert their genetic material into bacterial DNA. These genetic fragments allow bacteria to use ...
