Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape—to become either spheres or larger filaments—to favor their ability to infect cells depending on environmental conditions, according to a ...

Infection with Zika virus in pregnancy can lead to neurological disorders, fetal abnormalities and fetal death. Until now, how the virus manages to cross the placenta, which nurtures the developing ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, which could now help to ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza (“flu”) viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, developed at ETH ...

Researchers have discovered viruses transported to the International Space Station evolve differently than on Earth in a ...

If we want to prevent viral infections or develop drugs that can effectively treat them, those infections have to be investigated and understood. As such, scientists have long been researching viruses ...

Virus. The word evokes images of illness and fears of outbreaks. Yet, in the oceans, not all viruses are bad news. Some play a helpful, even critical, role in sustaining marine life. In a new study, ...
