The death toll and economic damage associated with flu highlight its role as one of the most harmful viruses in history.

How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza (“flu”) viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, developed at ETH ...

As of Dec. 20, the North Bay and Parry Sound districts had 267 lab-confirmed cases, compared to just three at the same time ...

Scientists have captured an unprecedented, real-time view of influenza viruses as they move across and slip inside human cells. The footage reveals that cells are far from passive targets and instead ...

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 ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, which could now help to ...

There’s a specific number of cases that marks the point of no return, according to a new study. You can count them on your ...

Fever, aching limbs and a runny nose – as winter returns, so too does the flu. The disease is triggered by influenza viruses, which enter our body through droplets and then infect cells. Researchers ...

Viruses are typically described as tiny, perfectly geometric shells that pack genetic material with mathematical precision, but new research led by scientists at Penn State reveals a deliberate ...
