This approach, which employs a single folded DNA strand, provides the device with unique flexibility and precision. The goal: to capture and block viruses, and even deliver targeted treatments.

A segment of the virus's DNA is responsible for the production ... You have produced a subunit vaccine for hepatitis B. Another example in the subunit category is the anthrax vaccine approved ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (CBS) -- A tiny hand crafted from DNA in a lab in Illinois may be able to help researchers get a hold of viruses and isolate them. Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana ...

Like a true Swiss army knife, scientists could modify the NanoGripper to potentially detect and grab other viruses, including HIV, influenza, or hepatitis B, as detailed in the study. The ...

Perhaps, both groups postulate, the current nucleus in eukaryotic cells arose from an endosymbiotic-like event in which a complex, enveloped DNA virus became a permanent resident of an emerging ...

Expression of information in viral genomes is highly regulated. Most DNA viruses, for example, have a timing mechanism for differential gene transcription that is based on the replication cycle ...
