New 3-D structural model of critical H1N1 protein developed
In just two weeks from the time the first patient virus samples were made available, Singapore scientists report an evolutionary analysis of a critical protein produced by the 2009 H1N1 influenza A virus strain. view more (2009-05-26)
La Jolla Institute unlocks mystery of potentially fatal reaction to smallpox vaccine
Researchers from the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology have pinpointed the cellular defect that increases the likelihood, among eczema sufferers, of developing eczema vaccinatum, a severe and potentially fatal reaction to the smallpox vaccine. view more (2009-05-26)
Viral epidemics poised to go mobile
If you own a computer, chances are you have experienced the aftermath of a nasty virus at some point. view more (2009-05-22)
The challenges of avian influenza virus: Mechanism, epidemiology and control
The latest special issue of Science in China Series C: Life Sciences focuses on the recent progress in the H5N1-related research field. view more (2009-05-22)
A potential drug for liver carcinoma
Looking for efficient anti-tumor drugs is a hot research area. Chrysin (5,7-dihydroxy flavone), a natural widely-distributed flavonoid, has been reported to have many different biological activities such as anti-oxidant, anti-virus, antidiabetogenic activity and clear anxiolytic effect. view more (2009-05-22)
Protein from algae shows promise for stopping SARS
A protein from algae may have what it takes to stop Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) infections, according to new research. view more (2009-05-21)
USC researchers uncover mechanism that allows influenza virus to evade the body's immune response
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have identified a critical molecular mechanism that allows the influenza virus to evade the body's immune response system. view more (2009-05-21)
Pandemic passenger screening
Four major US national laboratories have worked together to develop a computer model to help airport authorities screen passengers for pandemic influenza. view more (2009-05-20)
International team tracks clues to HIV
Rice University's Andrew Barron and his group, working with labs in Italy, Germany and Greece, have identified specific molecules that could block the means by which the deadly virus spreads by taking away its ability to bind with other proteins. view more (2009-05-20)
A new way of treating the flu
What happens if the next big influenza mutation proves resistant to the available anti-viral drugs? view more (2009-05-20)
New contraceptive device is designed to prevent sexual transmission of HIV
Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical College have published results showing that a new contraceptive device may also effectively block the transmission of the HIV virus. view more (2009-05-20)
Novel vaccine approach offers hope in fight against HIV
A research team may have broken the stubborn impasse that has frustrated the invention of an effective HIV vaccine, by using an approach that bypasses the usual path followed by vaccine developers. view more (2009-05-18)
Human nose too cold for bird flu, says new study
Avian influenza viruses do not thrive in humans because the temperature inside a person's nose is too low, according to research published today in the journal PLoS Pathogens. view more (2009-05-15)
Study indicates that a common virus could cause high blood pressure
A new study suggests for the first time that cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common viral infection affecting between 60 and 99 percent of adults worldwide, is a cause of high blood pressure, a leading risk factor for heart disease, stroke and kidney disease. view more (2009-05-15)
Scientists develop mathematical model to predict the immune response to influenza
Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed a mathematical model to predict immune responses to infection with influenza A viruses, including novel viruses such as the emergent 2009 influenza A (H1N1). view more (2009-05-14)
Immune exhaustion driven by antigen in chronic viral infection
A main reason why viruses such as HIV or hepatitis C persist despite a vigorous initial immune response is exhaustion. The T cells, or white blood cells, fighting a chronic infection eventually wear out. view more (2009-05-14)
Princeton team's analysis of flu virus could lead to better vaccines
A team of Princeton University scientists may have found a better way to make a vaccine against the flu virus. view more (2009-05-13)
Swine flu: Early findings about pandemic potential reported in new study
Early findings about the emerging pandemic of a new strain of influenza A (H1N1) in Mexico are published today in Science. view more (2009-05-12)
Scientists discover how smallpox may derail human immune system
University of Florida researchers have learned more about how smallpox conducts its deadly business - discoveries that may reveal as much about the human immune system as they do about one of the world's most feared pathogens. view more (2009-05-12)
Swine flu: What does it do to pigs?
The effects of H1N1 swine flu have been investigated in a group of piglets. Scientists writing in BioMed Central's open access Virology Journal studied the pathology of the virus, finding that all infected animals showed flu-like symptoms between one and four days after infection and were shedding virus two days after infection. view more (2009-05-11)
