The flu illness is triggered by influenza viruses, which enter the body through droplets and then infect cells. Researchers from Switzerland and Japan have now investigated the flu virus in minute ...

We know that the process of viral uptake into cells begins with interactions between proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase ...

Scientists have captured an unprecedented, real-time view of influenza viruses as they move across and slip inside human ...

Scientists have discovered a shocking new way viruses can spread — and it’s faster and deadlier than ever. Meet “Migrions,” a ...

Investigators from the laboratory of Derek Walsh, Ph.D., professor of Microbiology-Immunology, have discovered how human ...

Using a microscopy technique that they developed themselves, the scientists can zoom in on the surface of human cells in a ...

Every winter, as the air sharpens and scarves return to shoulders, an old visitor also makes a reappearance: the flu. It ...

Using AI, researchers identified one tiny molecular interaction that viruses need to infect cells. Disrupting it stopped the ...

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 ...

Researchers found that icosahedral viruses deliberately break symmetry using a single chemical bond to control RNA release.

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, which could now help to ...

Infection with Zika virus in pregnancy can lead to neurological disorders, fetal abnormalities and fetal death. Until now, how the virus manages to cross the placenta, which nurtures the developing ...
