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 ...

But watching how the flu virus sneaks into cells has been difficult because standard microscopes can't capture these fast, tiny steps clearly. In a breakthrough study, scientists from Switzerland and ...

For the first time, scientists have been able to watch the flu virus live as it infects human airway cells. They developed a ...

For much of modern biology, scientists argued that viruses are not alive, pointing to a basic limitation: they cannot make ...
