In early studies, the approach involved injecting the plant virus nanoparticles directly into tumors to stimulate an immune response. Even though the virus is non-infectious in mammals ...

New research from UC San Diego has found an innovative new treatment to fight cancer. Researchers found a plant virus to be highly effective in preventing the growth of cancerous tumors.

Safer and more broadly effective rotavirus vaccines could be achieved if initial investigations 1 into the boosting effect of plant-derived virus-like particles hold up in further trials.

The University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center has received a $2 million grant to study a form of immune therapy that uses viruses to target and infect cancer cells. KUNM reports on how this ...

Biotech company PsiVac is developing Ixovex-1, the first patented virus with a single base pair mutation able to replicate rapidly, opening potential new treatment options for solid tumors and beyond.

Cucumber mosaic virus is a particularly devastating virus for crops. About 90 species of aphids transmit the virus, which affects more than 1,200 plant species. These include numerous agricultural ...

The active ingredients have a broad spectrum effect; a series of RNA molecules support the plant's immune system in combating the virus. In laboratory experiments, 80 to 100% of the treated plants ...

What steps can researchers take to combat crop viruses? This is what a recent study published in Nucleic Acids Research hopes to address as a team of researchers from Germany investigated a novel ...
