Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team has developed a method that can be used to study the interaction of viruses with host cells in unprecedented ...

Using the example of a seasonal influenza A virus, the researchers used high-resolution and super-resolution microscopy to show that contact between the virus and the cell surface triggers a cascade ...

A technological revolution is helping Scripps Research scientists see the molecules that undermine human health, from ...

Dead baby chicks from farms began arriving by the dozens at the vet labs of North Dakota Agricultural College in Fargo in 1930. Chicken farmers also brought in their sick chicks, many of which were ...

As the world’s most infamous flu pandemic (often referred to as the Spanish flu) raged from 1918–1920, scientists had very few tools available to help them combat or understand the disease.

Unlike most influenza viruses, which bind to glycans—i.e. carbohydrate chains on the cell surface—for infection, the H18N11 virus has a different target. Example 1 of MDCK cells stably ...
