Infectious H5N1 influenza virus in raw milk rapidly declines with heat treatment

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

The amount of infectious H5N1 influenza viruses in raw milk rapidly declined with heat treatment in laboratory research. However, small, detectable amounts of infectious virus remained in raw milk samples with high virus levels when treated at 72 degrees Celsius (161.6

Bacteria-virus arms race provides rare window into rapid and complex evolution

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

Using an accelerated arms race between bacteria and viruses, researchers are documenting rapid evolutionary processes in simple laboratory flasks in only three weeks. Rather than a slow, gradual process as Darwin envisioned, biologists can now see how evolutionary changes unfold on much more accelerated timescales.

Speeding COVID-19 Drug Discovery with Quantum Dots

NIH Director's Blog: Drug Discovery

Because SARS-CoV-2 is so highly infectious, basic researchers without access to specially designed biosafety facilities may be limited in their ability to study the virus. While the quantum dots may bind and enter human cells just like the virus, they can’t cause an infection. Naval Research Laboratory (Washington, D.C.)

Viral Vectors 101: An Introduction to AAV

addgene Blog

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a single stranded, Parvoviridae DNA virus, packaged in a non-enveloped icosahedral capsid, that can be used to express genes of interest in cell and animal models. This post was contributed by guest blogger Didem Goz Ayturk with edits and updates from Addgenies Karen Guerin and Susanna Stroik.
