When it comes to warding off COVID-19, suppression and mitigation are the two key health measures based on epidemiological modelling. These two strategic non-pharmaceutical interventions—championed by ...

Scientists have demonstrated the use of computational methods to design new antiviral proteins not found in nature, but capable of targeting specific surfaces of flu virus molecules. Such designer ...

In biological systems, bottom-up construction of nano-sized functional materials has been carried out by molecular self-assembly. Many kinds of supramolecular nanostructures, as exemplified by ...

"We can design that genetic code to express what we want. It's an effective treatment." There are no guarantees that the virus will prove the best way to deliver ACT1 to the glioblastoma cells, though ...

Artificial intelligence has just helped virologists pull off something that used to take years of trial and error: crippling ...

In a step forward for genetic engineering and synthetic biology, researchers have modified a strain of Escherichia coli bacteria to be immune to natural viral infections while also minimizing the ...

A forthcoming Australian scientific study concludes that the coronavirus causing the global pandemic contains unique properties suggesting it was manipulated in a Chinese laboratory and was not the ...

State-of-the-art microscopy has enabled researchers to study a viral protein that could be used in vaccine development. Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that ...
