Adam Lentz, a Ph.D. student in the DuBois lab, led a project to better understand the structure of human astroviruses. Human astroviruses are a leading viral cause of the stomach bug—think vomiting, ...

Researchers at Aarhus University report a proof-of-concept DNA needle inspired by bacteriophages that can deliver molecules directly into cells and help them remain active. In laboratory experiments, ...

Herpes simplex virus partially liquifies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a new study shows. The research centers on how the nucleus of each human cell ...
