Scientists investigating how influenza viruses replicate within cells "accidentally" discovered that different flu viruses ...

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 ...

Viruses closely related to the deadly MERS coronavirus are lurking in bats and one group, known as HKU5, may be just one mutation away from making the jump to humans. A new study reveals how these ...

If we want to prevent viral infections or develop drugs that can effectively treat them, those infections have to be investigated and understood. As such, scientists have long been researching viruses ...

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 ...

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 ...

T cells are some of the immune system's most important warriors. They can stop tumor growth and even fight off severe ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, together with international colleagues, have identified a protein that is crucial for the TBE virus to infect human cells. The discovery, published in the journal ...

Scientists have finally watched influenza viruses break into living human cells in real time, catching the microscopic invaders as they latch on, glide across the surface and slip inside. Instead of a ...
