Ethel Webi’s fascination with viruses’ genetic makeup led her to pursue biotechnology at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.

In this case, the team used explants that spanned the surface layer (epidermis) of skin through to the middle layer (dermis) ...

Study findings spotlight a highly potent source of Ebola virus shedding with the potential for person-to-person transmission.

Ebola is generally known to spread through contact with bodily fluids from individuals who have the infection.

Researchers have traced a cellular route Ebola virus (EBOV) uses to traverse the inner and outer layers of skin and emerge onto the skin's surface. The study identifies new cell types within the skin ...

Then, the cells were lysed for qRT-PCR to detect the expression of MmMYL3 and CP. (C) Virus titer detection in MmMYL3-Myc transfected hMMES1 cells post RGNNV infection for 2 and 4 h. (D and E) qRT-PCR ...

A new combo of climate and habitat crises, along with immune system stress, is driving more bat-borne viruses to afflict us ...

However, the full extent of mutations driving resistance remains unknown as no research has sequenced the whole genome of insecticide-resistant strains. A research team led by Hidemasa Bono ...

This study uncovers the persistence of 22 viruses in human semen, emphasizing the need for updated public health strategies and insights into fertility impacts.
