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

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 ...

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

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

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

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 ...

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

A newly identified virus–cell hybrid structure allows viruses to spread faster and more aggressively by hitching a ride on ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
