Scientists reviewed DNA damage patterns triggered by the cell's antiviral defences after controlled exposure to the BK virus to determine the risk of virus.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming medicine’s most powerful microscope, revealing patterns in human DNA that were ...

Hepatitis B is a serious liver disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV), which is a small DNA virus from the Hepadnaviridae family. If someone has this infection for a long time, it can lead to ...

Researchers have found that certain childhood viral infections, including the BK virus, may damage bladder DNA and increase ...

A common childhood virus, BK virus, dormant in the urinary tract, is now linked to DNA damage increasing bladder cancer risk.

Scientists uncovered how childhood BK virus infections may set off cancer-causing mutations decades later: by activating a ...

A newly developed AI can predict which diseases specific genetic mutations are likely to cause, not just whether they are ...

The herpesvirus can manipulate our DNA with far more precision than previously thought. The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for ...

Viruses rely on hosts to survive. But some viruses are more effective at reproducing than others. Now, new research has shown that the herpes virus, more specifically herpes simplex virus type 1 ...
