When they completed the genome, Goldsmith came in to the look at the isolate and took images with the transmission electron microscope. While the flu virus can come in different shapes and sizes, the ...

Scientists have made a major advance in understanding how flu viruses replicate within infected cells. The researchers used cutting-edge molecular biology and electron-microscopy techniques to ...

Now, with the help of a long-studied flu virus, an electron microscope and a novel idea of how the virus aligns segments of RNA as it prepares to make virions, the particles a virus creates and ...

An electron microscope image of the CDC’s recreated 1918 Influenza virus, seen here, 18 hours after infection. Courtesy: CDC/Dr. Terrence Tumpey Despite recent advances in microbiology, early ...

Finally, in 1940, the newly invented electron microscope took a picture of the influenza virus, and for the first time in history we could not only name, but also see, the culprit. Read: You’re ...

This electron microscope image catches a flu virus in the process of copying itself. Viral nucleoproteins (blue) encapsulate the flu genome (green). The influenza virus polymerase (orange) reads ...

For the first time, scientists have created a hybrid of the two seasonal viruses. Their discovery yielded a few surprises. An image from a scanning electron microscopy shows human lung cells ...

This colorized electron microscope image released by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases on March 26, 2024, shows avian influenza A H5N1 virus ... cats seem especially ...

A colorized electron microscope image shows avian influenza A H5N1 virus particles in yellow. Inset: a person putting on a mask. A single mutation of a strain infecting dairy workers increases the ...

What if this year’s flu combines with the dreaded H5N1 bird flu and emerges as a nightmare flu? What if a novel virus destined to be called SARS ... not without the help of an electron microscope.
