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 ...
Advanced cryo-electron microscopy technology allows researchers to visualize measles viruses at high resolution in their native state.Movie courtesy of Zunlong Ke and Elizabeth Wright Researchers have ...
The beauty of physics at the cellular scale is part of what draws biomedical engineers and biologists like us to the field of mechanobiology: the study of how physical forces influence biology.
A virus that is big enough to be seen under an ordinary light microscope co-opts its host’s systems with the help of potentially purloined genes. The researchers found that the virus makes a complex ...
As flu season approaches, it’s a good time to look back at the invention that made virology possible. Viruses weren’t well understood until somewhat recently, in part because they couldn’t be seen ...
Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team from the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research (HZI) and the Medical Center—University of Freiburg has ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. How well viruses infect cells is partly a question of biomechanics. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases/NIH via ...
Viruses have no metabolism of their own and must therefore infect host cells in order to replicate. Contact between the virus and the cell surface is a crucial first step, which can also prevent ...
