As scientists, we often think we understand a virus—its structure, its tricks, the way it moves through the body. But every ...

It’s the same when doctors, researchers and epidemiologists fight any virus: The physical structure of its molecules dictate ... Ebola and, of course, influenza comes back every year, sometimes with ...

The reader often feels that only the most lurid anecdotes are mentioned, apparently precluding any in-depth description of our burgeoning understanding of the structure and function of the virus ...

There are currently no targeted drugs or vaccines available to treat Nipah virus infection. Researchers led by Prof. Dr. Hauke Hillen, head of the "Structure and Function of Molecular Machines ...

The H5N1 avian influenza virus is mutating to evade immune defenses in mammals following prior infection or vaccination.

A major challenge lies in the virus's structure and regulatory mechanisms, which have remained largely unclear. In particular, scientists have long struggled to fully understand its nucleocapsid ...

The influenza genome is very compact and contained in virus particles that are ~ 100 ... directionally using Sanger technology. The genome structure introduces complications, however.

Now, researchers have developed a prototype sensor that detects a type of influenza virus that causes bird flu (H5N1) in air samples. The low-cost handheld sensor detects the virus at levels below ...

Now, researchers in ACS Sensors have developed a prototype sensor that detects a type of influenza virus that causes bird flu (H5N1) in air samples. The low-cost handheld sensor detects the virus ...

“As the virus spreads, the need for robust strategies to prevent and respond to flu outbreaks is becoming increasingly critical. Our long-acting antiviral influenza preventative, CD388 ...
