Surface proteins on a virus enable it to attach to and get inside a cell to start replicating. koto_feja/E+ via Getty Images COVID-19, flu, mpox, noroviral diarrhea: How do the viruses that cause ...

Most flu viruses enter human cells through a single entryway — but new research has revealed a "back door" some germs can use to more easily infect cells and jump between species. Like human flu ...

The disease is triggered by influenza viruses, which enter our body through droplets and then infect cells. Researchers from Switzerland and Japan have now investigated this virus in minute detail.

Most influenza viruses enter human or animal cells through specific pathways on the cells' surface. Researchers have now discovered that certain human flu viruses and avian flu viruses can also use a ...

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 ...

Scientists have finally watched influenza viruses break into living human cells in real time, catching the microscopic invaders as they latch on, glide across the surface and slip inside. Instead of a ...

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 ...

The process by which phages -- viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria -- enter cells has been studied for over 50 years. In a new study, researchers from the University of Illinois ...

Monteil and her colleagues first investigated where the virus might attach to cells. To do that, the researchers randomly mutated single amino acids in rodent haploid cells and then exposed these ...

A new study shows that the body’s early immune response, not the virus itself, often determines how severe a rhinovirus cold ...
