Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living ...

Scientists have studied a new target for antibiotics in the greatest detail yet—in the fight against antibiotic resistance.

Like a camera-shy teenager, influenza’s ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex turns away whenever researchers point the camera at it. The RNP complex is extremely flexible, so scientists have ...

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 ...

Cryo-electron microscopy A technique that uses electron beams to visualize biological molecules at near-atomic resolutions under extremely cold temperatures. This preserves the structure of biological ...

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 ...

Four years ago the first modern electron microscope was exhibited by the Siemens & Halske A.-G., in Berlin (TIME, June 6, 1938). Two years ago the R.C.A. Laboratories completed the first ...

High speed atomic force microscopy studies provide insights into influenza A viral replication Peer-Reviewed Publication. Nano Life Science Institute (NanoLSI), Kanazawa University ...

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 ...

Maybe it was really a quadruple-demic. A little known and underappreciated virus called human metapneumovirus spiked in the US this spring just after RSV, influenza and Covid-19 died down.

Modern techniques have helped researchers to understand the virus life cycle better. Among these methods are viral replication and the virus-host interaction that includes cell culture, infectivity ...
