Controlled experiment allowed viruses to attack bacteria in space—and the results surprised scientists
The viruses devise ploys to break into bacterial defenses. Bacteria, on the other hand, strengthen their defenses so that ...
On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different ...
Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect other organs and cause neurological disorders. Little is yet known about how this process works. A research ...
The immune system's reaction to the common Epstein-Barr virus can ultimately damage the brain and contribute to multiple ...
Our results provide mechanistic evidence that immune responses to EBV can directly damage the brain in MS,” said Olivia Thomas, PhD, assistant professor at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience at ...
“Our study shows how the most important environmental and genetic risk factors can contribute to MS and trigger an autoimmune ...
Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis arise when the immune system turns against the body itself. Yet for most of ...
The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the most unique environments where life has ever existed, out in the low ...
Hepatitis E is a common disease worldwide, but it often remains undetected. “There’s no precise data on how often the infection affects the neurological system,” says Michelle Jagst. What is known is ...
