Researchers in the United Kingdom have found a common childhood virus that can trigger DNA damage leading to bladder cancer ...

New research reveals that triggering a cell’s DNA damage response could be a promising avenue for developing novel treatments against several rare but devastating viruses for which no antiviral ...

Scientists uncovered how childhood BK virus infections may set off cancer-causing mutations decades later: by activating a ...

CRISPR-Cas9 is a customizable tool that lets scientists cut and insert small pieces of DNA at precise areas along a DNA strand. This lets scientists study genes in a specific, targeted way. (NHGRI via ...

Most of them come from a subset of viruses called retroviruses, which infect host cells and then trick them into making the proteins that they need to replicate. Occasionally, a retrovirus will embed ...

UK researchers have found a common childhood virus that can trigger DNA damage leading to bladder cancer later in life.

Some viruses mutate more rapidly than others. Learn more about why that is and what that means for your health.

DNA scaffolds that mirror influenza virus protein geometry boost antiviral binding and reduce infection more effectively than free molecules, enabling a modular antiviral design strategy.
