New details have been revealed about how coronaviruses enter cells. This work used cutting-edge microscopy and computational tools to show that a small sugar molecule binds to the spike protein of ...

Bacterial infections are a major cause of death in children and adults worldwide. Without effective antibiotics, patients deteriorate rapidly and can die within hours. However, the standard process to ...

Researchers have identified new roles for a protein long known to protect against severe flu infection—among them, raising the minimum number of viral particles needed to cause sickness. The protein ...

Note: Articles may be assigned to more than one subject area, as a result the sum of the subject research outputs may not equal the overall research outputs. Actionable insights into research ...

Bacteria existed for millennia before humans and have been infecting us from the beginning. Although we can treat infections through pharmaceuticals, bacteria continue to become resistant to treatment ...

Researchers demonstrate that under low fluid shear force conditions that simulate those found in microgravity culture during spaceflight, the foodborne pathogen Salmonella infects 3-D models of human ...
