New study reveals how flu virus hijacks human cells to multiply ...

Researchers at EMBL Hamburg and collaborators at the Leibniz Research Institute for Molecular Pharmacology (FMP) have mapped how the influenza A virus rewires infected human cells in unprecedented ...

Scientists uncovered how influenza A commandeers human cells, including a surprising strategy that dissolves tiny structures in the nucleus and releases proteins the virus may use to reproduce. The ...

Study demonstrates a new way to study flu-host interactions in their native context and with structural insight.

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 ...

H5N1 avian influenza is highly pathogenic and has been devastating bird populations worldwide. It continues to do so, and is also moving into new animals, like skunks, bears, raccoons, cats, and dairy ...

In a breakthrough for influenza research, scientists have discovered immune cells that can recognize influenza (flu) viruses even as they mutate, raising hopes for a longer-lasting vaccine and a ...

Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team from the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research (HZI) and the Medical Center—University of Freiburg has ...

Like these substances, influenza viruses must also attach to molecules on the cell surface. The dynamics are like surfing on the surface of the cell: the virus scans the surface, attaching to a ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine have discovered why the flu vaccine can perform poorly. They found that a specific type of immune cell, ...
