Josephine Thinwa shares her journey to becoming a physician scientist and how this led her to investigate the role of a neurologically important kinase in virus-induced autophagy.

Gut viruses influence behavioral responses in mice and may be important players in the gut-brain axis.

Humans harbor both bacteria and viruses that help keep us healthy. Soon, they might cure us too.

Researchers shed light on the immunometabolism of respiratory infection, providing an avenue towards safer COVID-19 therapeutics for those affected by metabolic disorders.

The “tripledemic” shines a spotlight on viral interference, in which one infection can block another.

Analyses suggest the virus has been silently spreading in nearby counties since May.

Of the pathogens known to have infected humans, more than half may cause more widespread disease as a result of rising temperatures, precipitation changes, or other climate-related factors, a study finds.

Flavivirus infections alter the skin microbiome of mice to increase the production of a sweet-smelling compound that attracts the viruses’ insect vectors, a study finds.

The longer and farther the virus spreads, the more likely it could become endemic in new areas, says UCLA epidemiologist Anne Rimoin.

Southern Australia has recorded its first-ever cases of the disease in an outbreak that has so far killed three people.

The virus’s ability to slip directly from one cell to another may help it avoid some of the body’s immune responses.

CRISPR-mediated removal of HIV can create small, infectious DNA molecules.

In Chapter 1, “On Being,” author Antonio Damasio outlines the dawn of consciousness.
