The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family is an important class of receptor tyrosine kinases, mediating a variety of cellular responses in normal biological processes and in pathological ...

Toll-like receptors are the most extensively studied family of PRR. They are transmembrane proteins expressed by multiple cell types and are located on either the cell surface (TLR1, 2, 4 and 5 ...

Our study shows catching common respiratory viruses raises your short-term risk of a heart attack or stroke. In other words, common viruses, such as those that cause flu and COVID, can trigger them.

Conjugation of the cell-penetrating peptide derived from the human immunodeficiency virus-1 transactivator protein (TAT) to semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) is an effective way to enhance ...

In Australia, comprehensive national data on hMPV is limited because hMPV is not one of the viruses . In other words, if a patient is found to have hMPV (through a PCR swab sent to a pathology lab ...

Inspired by the way viruses attach to cells, EPFL scientists have developed a method for engineering ultra-selective aptamers. Aptamers are short segments of DNA or RNA that are designed to bind ...

Scientists have uncovered over 200 new giant viruses lurking in ocean waters that not only help shape marine ecosystems but also manipulate photosynthesis in algae. These massive viruses once ...

Jun 06, 2025 Ultra-selective aptamers give viruses a taste of their own medicine Inspired by the way viruses attach to cells, scientists have developed a method for engineering ultra-selective ...

Luca was eventually diagnosed with a then-little-known illness called acute flaccid myelitis, or AFM. In the long history of medicine, AFM is a relatively new disease—its debut in the academic ...
