A new kind of CRISPR that destroys cells rather than gene editing them has shown potential for killing sick cells while leaving healthy cells untouched. The technology has largely been tested in cells ...

Scientists have developed antibodies that block a common virus linked to cancer and autoimmune diseases from infecting immune ...

At 20, Elon Student Ryder Hutchinson is thinking about the future of cancer, its treatment and how viruses might be used to ...

Cancer research has long looked at bacteria and viruses as separate tools for therapy. Now, researchers are showing that the two can actually work better together. A team of scientists has built a new ...

Scientists have discovered that an attenuated (weakened) virus can help eliminate cancer in mice. In addition, mice that were treated with this virus were more resistant to developing tumors later in ...

A newly discovered virus hiding inside a common gut bacterium could help explain one of medicine’s long-standing mysteries: why a microbe found in both healthy people and cancer patients is linked to ...

Researchers discover a hidden virus in gut bacteria that could explain colon cancer and help detect it earlier ...

In spite of generations of experience and all the thousands of case histories, cancer research has advanced at a turtle’s pace. Doctors acknowledge the basic truisms that cancer is cell growth gone ...

Backed by a $2 million grant, University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center professor Eric Bartee's research raises the hope that certain viruses can actually trigger an immune response to ...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), mostly infects the lungs, nose, throat, and respiratory tract, and can cause illness ...

Newly discovered virus linked to colorectal cancer Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark have identified a new virus in a common gut bacterium. The virus is found significantly more ...

When activated by its target, the newly characterized molecule rips the genome apart, a lethal move that researchers can ...
