Periodically, the yearly flu transforms into a particularly virulent strain, like the Spanish flu that killed millions of people in 1918. How do these pandemic strains arise? Aa Aa Aa Although ...

To fight the virus that causes influenza, one of the avenues being explored by scientists is the development of drugs capable of destabilizing its genome, which is made up of eight RNA molecules.

Contained within this matrix shell is the viral RNA genome, which (for influenza A viruses) consists of eight single-stranded, negative-sense RNA segments (negative-sense refers to the genome ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body’s gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread, according to researchers at ...

This discovery indicates that it may be possible to influence the body's own RNAi system to slow viral infections—and not just influenza, but perhaps even other RNA viruses. "Now, we want to ...
