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 ...

New antivirals and vaccines could follow the discovery by Australian researchers of strategies used by viruses to control our cells. Led by Monash University and the University of Melbourne, and ...

Drugs made of mRNA have the potential to transform medicine—if only they could get into cells in one piece. Now, University of Connecticut researchers have shown that packaging mRNA like a virus could ...

More than 200,000 children succumb to viral gastroenteritis infections, or stomach flu, all over the world every year. 1 Human astroviruses are a common cause of such infections, leading to diarrhea, ...

Hopefully, you have already received your seasonal flu vaccine this year. These shots are highly effective at preventing illness, ultimately lowering the spread of the virus throughout the population.

Cells actively help to capture and incorporate influenza viruses. Here, a cell is shown, with a virus in the centre of the image. Fever, aching limbs and a runny nose – as winter returns, so too does ...

Researchers at WashU Medicine have identified key entry routes that two deadly viruses use to infect cells. Shown are mouse neurons and their cell nuclei (purple and blue). On the left, infection with ...

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 ...
