Researchers have devised a new tool for discerning between naturally occurring viral outbreaks and those resulting from lab ...

In a new study, researchers across three US states analyzed seven viral outbreaks in recent decades, including Covid, Ebola and influenza, to determine how they emerged and mutated.

A new study has found that the possibility of the coronavirus leaking from a laboratory is low. The research suggests that COVID-19 was a virus commonly found in animal hosts before spreading to ...

GAO also examined how HHS agencies review and oversee the pathogen research they fund or conduct. It found that while HHS shares some information about high-risk research with federal stakeholders, ...

Genexis engineers microbes and uses precision fermentation to produce AOF growth factors, serum proteins and special-purpose laboratory culture media ...

Explore the challenges facing South Africa's sugar, energy, diamonds, and livestock industries as global trade dynamics shift, impacting livelihoods and economic stability.

But scientists say there are practical and ethical challenges to overcome before the strategy could be deployed in real-world settings.

“Imagine getting a nasal spray in the fall months that protects you from all respiratory viruses, including COVID-19, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, and the common cold, as well as bacterial ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a protein and alter its function. A team at HZB has now investigated the Nsp1 ...

A new University of California San Diego study published in Cell challenges a long-standing assumption about how animal ...

There is no evolutionary signal suggesting that these viruses were being “pre-adapted” for humans prior to their outbreaks. Instead, measurable changes in selection typically appeared only after ...
