An immune response that likely evolved to help fight infections appears to be the mechanism that drives human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) into a latent state, lurking in cells only to erupt anew, researchers at Duke Health ...

Most COVID-19 therapeutics target the SARS-CoV-2 proteins. Because the viral proteins acquire genetic sequence mutations, the emergence of new variants has a risk to make the drugs ineffective.

An entirely new approach to monoclonal antibody therapy shows that targeting the more genetically stable internal protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus rather than the surface spike protein can also clear SARS-CoV-2, reports a ...

The 1918 influenza pandemic resulted in the loss of over 3% of the world's population—at least 50 million people. But it wasn't the flu virus that caused the majority of these deaths.

Even though most viruses cause infection directly through mucosal cells, the vast majority of vaccines are administered intramuscularly in a cellular mismatch that doesn't always produce optimum immunity.
