Most influenza viruses enter human or animal cells through specific pathways on the cells' surface. Researchers have now discovered that certain human flu viruses and avian flu viruses can also use a ...

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

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 ...

Most influenza viruses enter human or animal cells through specific pathways on the cells' surface. Researchers at the University of Zurich have now discovered that certain human flu viruses and avian ...

Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uses a sophisticated tactic to evade the human body's defense ...

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 ...

As part of their effort to answer a decades-old biological question about how the hepatitis B virus (HBV) can establish an infection in liver cells, researchers led by teams at Memorial Sloan ...

While many viruses kill their hosts, not all viruses are harmful. In fact, some even benefit the cells they infect. For instance, temperate phages are viruses capable of replicating innocuously inside ...
