Cold sore-causing HSV-1 doesn't just hijack cells it reconfigures the entire architecture of our DNA to aid its invasion.

In the world of viral research, uncovering a virus’s weaknesses is often a painstaking process that requires years of ...

At the same time, this is a new approach to the study of chromatin structure, where polymer physics has historically reigned supreme." The implications of the research are two-fold.

Researchers discovered that HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus) actively reshapes the 3D layout of human DNA within hours of ...

Scientists found that vitamin C doesn't just protect skin from damage - it actually turns on sleeping genes that help make ...
