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 ...

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

Vaccines that display filovirus surface proteins on engineered, self-assembling protein nanoparticles improve immune system detection of the virus.

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

Researchers found that icosahedral viruses deliberately break symmetry using a single chemical bond to control RNA release.

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 ...

It may feel like you are surrounded by sniffles and coughs, but flu season activity is still low in many parts of the U.S.

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 ...

But watching how the flu virus sneaks into cells has been difficult because standard microscopes can't capture these fast, tiny steps clearly. In a breakthrough study, scientists from Switzerland and ...

Onset, intensity, severity and duration of influenza seasons vary each year and are driven by factors such as temperature, rainfall, humidity, circulating virus types/subtypes, population immunity ...

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 ...

When a pathogen like a dangerous virus invades the human body, it usually has to enter human cells to cause an illness. Influenza has to latch onto a receptor on the surface of a human cell so it can ...
