Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team has developed a method that can be used to study the interaction of viruses with host cells in unprecedented ...

How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...

Scientists have captured a never-before-seen, high-resolution look at influenza’s stealthy invasion of human cells, revealing that the cells aren’t just helpless victims. Using a groundbreaking ...

The researchers then characterized the coronaviruses from the diseased animals in more detail and discovered a single change in the viral genome. Such changes, commonly known as viral escape mutations ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza ("flu") viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, developed at ETH ...

Hopefully, you have already received your seasonal flu vaccine this year. These shots are highly effective at preventing illness, ultimately lowering the spread of the virus throughout the population.

New antivirals and vaccines could follow the discovery by Australian researchers of strategies used by viruses to control our cells. Led by Monash University and the University of Melbourne, and ...

The characteristics of the protein that allows Marburg virus to enter human cells so efficiently – 300 times more efficiently than Ebola – have been identified. University of Minnesota (MN, USA) ...
