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 ...

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.

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.

Cryo-fixed stained microtubules can be imaged with high electron doses for accessing the full resolving power of an electron microscope. Microscopy and Microanalysis 23, 1114–1115 (2017). doi ...

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 ...

When June Almeida peered into her electron microscope in 1964, she saw a round, grey dot covered in tiny spokes. She and her colleagues noted that the pegs formed a halo around the virus—much ...

To fight the virus that causes influenza, ... and were obtained using biochemical approaches and state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopy provided by the Integrated Structural Biology, ...

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 ...
