But a recent case in another part of the state that resulted in a man's death has brought new attention to the so-called Alaskapox virus. Here's what we know about the virus, now known as AKPV.

News that an elderly man in Alaska has died from Alaskapox — the first known fatality, according to state health officials — has brought newfound attention to the recently discovered virus.

Known up to now as Alaskapox, the disease is caused by a virus in the orthopox family that includes smallpox and other pox viruses. Alaska Beacon is part of States Newsroom, a network of news ...

In addition to competing for resources, living cells actively kill and eat each other. New explorations of these "cell-in-cell" phenomena show they are not restricted to cancer cells but are a ...

VERLO, which has been introduced by NanoCellect Biomedical, is an image-guided cell sorter that researchers can use to monitor and select single cells on the basis of morphology without resorting ...

Digital images submitted with a manuscript for review should be minimally processed. A certain degree of image processing is acceptable for publication (and for some experiments, fields and ...

A SARS-CoV-2 particle enters a person's nose or mouth and floats in the airway until it brushes against a lung cell that has an ACE2 receptor on the surface. The virus binds to that cell ...

This allows researchers to examine the structures of organisms, cells and organelles, and viruses and capture small-scale images of structures frozen in time. Flash-freeze many RSV particles, and cryo ...

Viruses with an envelope steal a fatty layer from the cell. Then, new virus particles infect other cells, turning them into virus production factories too. So viruses are unlike any living ...
