Determining the structure of a protein called hemagglutinin on the surface of influenza B is giving researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University in Houston clues as to what kinds of ...

DNA scaffolds that mirror influenza virus protein geometry boost antiviral binding and reduce infection more effectively than ...

Investigating influenza’s interactions with cellular proteins has led to an improved understanding of how it is able to jump between different types of hosts. Researchers at the University of Oxford ...

Colorized transmission electron micrograph of influenza A/H3N2 virus particles, isolated from a patient sample and then propagated in cell culture. Influenza A virus particles adapt shape—as filaments ...

We've all heard of "the flu" but when it comes to types, subtypes and variants, influenza can get a bit complicated. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly ...

Influenza viruses are shifty entities. They accumulate small genetic changes on a regular basis, necessitating yearly updates to the flu vaccines because the prior year’s strain may not look much like ...

University of Manchester biologists have for the first time started to unpick the long-term biological changes associated ...
