For the first time, scientists have been able to watch the flu virus live as it infects human airway cells. They developed a ...

A live-cell imaging tool allowed researchers to follow influenza A virus through its life cycle in airway organoids, showing ...

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 ...

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 ...

A single influenza virus entering a host cell, visualized with VISUN. The bright spots are individual packages of viral genetic material, which are fluorescently labeled and spreading through the host ...

New study reveals how influenza virus infiltrates heart tissue via specialised immune cells, triggering damaging interferon ...

Researchers discover that COVID-19 uniquely causes brain inflammation and disrupts serotonin/dopamine pathways, explaining "brain fog" in Long COVID.

As flu cases continue to surge during the colder months, doctors are again seeing a troubling pattern: heart disease deaths also rise when the flu spreads.
