A protein showing up in breast cancer tumors, lupus patients, and people with ALS has been traced to an unexpected source: a virus that infected human ancestors millions of years ago. Scientists have ...

Once the virus attaches to receptor clusters, it sends signals that make the cell wrap it in a clathrin coat and build an actin bulge, pulling the virus inward. The virus is then pinched off into a ...

Nearly all adults carry Epstein–Barr virus—but new research reveals how it can hijack immune cells, sparking a chronic disease that attacks the body from within. This colorized transmission electron ...
