Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape—to become either spheres or larger filaments—to favor their ...

The flu virus is changing in ways never seen before, increasing infections and raising concerns about vaccine effectiveness and public health risks.

The influenza A virus genome consists of eight segments of single-stranded, negative-sense viral RNA, which encode multiple ...

Influenza A Viruses Adapt Shape in Response to Environmental Pressures - NIH Study Identifies Previously Unknown Adaptation ...

Influenza A virus particle can strategically adapt their shape, becoming either spheres or filaments, to favor their ability ...

To find the answer, they developed a way to observe and measure real-time influenza A virus structure during formation. Influenza A viruses rapidly adjust their shape when placed in conditions ...

However, our improved knowledge about influenza virus structure and its biological properties have enabled us to use genetic reassortment techniques to modify 'wild-type' strains so as to increase ...

The influenza A virus (IAV) is known for its segmented genome, which consists of eight distinct viral RNA segments (vRNAs). This unique structure allows for genetic reassortment, a process that ...

His research involves studying the structure of viruses and how they interface ... there has been a steady stream of known and emerging viruses, including HIV, Ebola and, of course, influenza comes ...

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 ...
