Stefanov and Graf 1 suggest that viruses are not only synthesized by the activity of the host cell, but can also be regarded as “live entities with embryonic forms growing from the adult ...

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the influenza virus. The disease it causes is commonly known as " flu ": an infectious disease of the upper air passages.

New pictures of the influenza virus have prompted scientists to rethink previous ideas of how the virus escapes from cells, according to a study by researchers from Japan, Sweden and the U.S.

Her images of viruses have been showcased on the front cover of magazines, textbooks, news websites, and even on Science Friday on multiple occasions. “I have been fortunate to look at many deadly ...

PREVIOUS studies1 of tissue sections with the electron microscope have shown masses of particles having the dimensions of the elementary bodies of influenza virus associated with infected cells.

For the first time, scientists mapped the atomic-scale interactions of influenza’s RNA-protein double-helix shield using cryo-electron microscopy. This reveals potential drug targets to destabilize ...

Just as seen in more recent outbreaks of new influenza viruses, the 1918 pandemic traced its origins to virus strains circulating in nature. Natural world a reservoir for human disease ...

To fight the virus that causes influenza, one of the avenues being explored by scientists is the development of drugs capable of destabilizing its genome, made up of RNA molecules. But the ...
