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.

Plants can get cancer too. While cancer doesn't affect plants ... such as exposure to ultraviolet light, a virus, or random errors that occur when a cell divides. But the story's a little ...

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.

The virus must infect, replicate in and destroy human tumor cells, ideally including non-cycling cancer cells. The parental virus should preferably cause only mild, well-characterized human disease.

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 ...

Marek's disease can be pervasive in chicken houses. Chickens infected by this highly contagious viral disease often develop ...

“The study is a proof of concept that CRISPR/Cas9 can be used to destroy DNA viruses and block viral infection and disease progression,” said Yinong Yang, who studies molecular plant-microbe ...
