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.

Flu virus transcription caught in the act Cryo-EM experts make a movie of influenza’s replication machinery, which could lead to better antivirals by Louisa Dalton, special to C&EN May 16, 2025 ...

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 ...

Influenza a virus antiparallel helical nucleocapsid-like pseudo-atomic structure. Nucleic Acids Research, 2024; DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkae1211 ...

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 ...

Influenza A is a global health risk responsible for local epidemics and deadly pandemics. As such, the mechanism by which the virus replicates itself has attracted significant interest.

Fera, A. & Dye, L. 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 ...

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 ...

Still, the mistake and its consequences had a lasting effect on science and medicine, ultimately generating new standards for research and drug development, some of which are still in place today ...
