With the help of their new development, they have also analyzed how novel influenza viruses use alternative receptors to enter target cells. The results were recently published in two papers in ...

Influenza viruses enter cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis and then progress to late endosomes, where viral fusion leads to the release of the viral genome 1,9,18,19,20,21,22,23.

The influenza viruses of bats thus have the potential to infect both humans as well as livestock, at least at the level of entering cells. "Such an infection has not yet been observed.

The scientists first identified cell surface proteins present in the vicinity of the viral haemagglutinin, the protein used by the influenza A virus to enter the cell. One of these proteins stood ...

It happens every year, especially in winter. A virus saunters into your wide-open respiratory tract, worms its way into lung cells, and, next thing you know, you're lying in bed with a fever ...

Studying how influenza viruses cause disease just got a little easier, thanks to a new tool developed at South Dakota State University. Scientists have been using cells from chickens, dogs ...

Numerous bacteria and viruses, including those that cause COVID-19 and influenza, enter the body through the lungs when people breathe, resulting in illness. Johns Hopkins engineers have created thin, ...

“Human influenza A viruses of subtype H2N2 and related H2N2 avian influenza viruses can enter cells through a second receptor. They use an alternative entry pathway,” says Stertz.
