Determining the structure of a protein called hemagglutinin on the surface of influenza B is giving researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University in Houston clues as to what kinds of ...

A team of scientists at University of Oxford have worked with multiple techniques at Diamond Light Source, the UK’s national synchrotron, to solve the structure of the influenza replication machinery ...

We review the current state of influenza, from its virology and public health impact to the limitations of vaccination and ...

This important study presents a thoughtful design and characterization of chimeric influenza hemagglutinin (HA) head domains combining elements of distinct receptor-binding sites. The results provide ...

Investigating influenza’s interactions with cellular proteins has led to an improved understanding of how it is able to jump between different types of hosts. Researchers at the University of Oxford ...

The influenza A virus, which is responsible for seasonal flu outbreaks, is also the only influenza virus that has previously caused flu pandemics. This makes influenza A an important research topic, ...

Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape-to become either spheres or larger filaments-to favor their ability to infect cells depending on environmental conditions, according to a ...

Classical antibody boosting effects during vaccination are accompanied by natural broadening mechanisms that help enable human antibodies to engage conserved sites of vulnerability on influenza virus.
