RNA trickery disarms the antiviral CRISPR defenses of bacteria

Bacteria-attacking viruses, known as bacteriophages, use small RNAs to disarm the CRISPR-Cas immune systems of bacteria. This discovery has now been documented by researchers at the University of Copenhagen. The…

Deadly virus hides from the immune system. Now part of the puzzle is solved

In the past, it has been a mystery how the Hepatitis C virus evades the human body's immune system. But now, a research team has discovered how the clever virus does it.

Deadly virus hides from the body's immune system. Now researchers have solved some of the mystery

Every year over 300,000 people die because of the hepatitis C virus. It is estimated that over 50 million people worldwide are infected with the virus, which can cause liver inflammation and in worst case liver cancer.…

Danish researchers solve the mystery of how deadly virus hide in humans

With a new method for examining virus samples researchers from the University of Copenhagen have solved an old riddle about how Hepatitis C virus avoids the human body's immune defenses. The result may have an impact on…

Thousands of intestinal viruses have now been mapped. And they can be used to fight antibiotic resistance

A new method developed at the University of Copenhagen has been used to identify more than 1,000 bactericidal viruses in the human intestines. The researchers believe the discovery may help fight antibiotic resistance.

Using artificial intelligence to fingerprint suspicious proteins

An artificial intelligence tool created by researchers at the University of Copenhagen can quickly and accurately identify suspicious or particularly 'talented' proteins in our bodies based upon their movements alone.…
