In another flu project ongoing in the Wilson lab, Ekiert was working to determine the structure of an antibody that neutralized the 1918 influenza virus. The antibody had been isolated from a ...

Flu virus key machine: First complete view of structure revealed. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2014 / 11 / 141120082124.htm ...

Some of their studies focus on understanding the molecular structure of the flu virus; others use computers to model how flu infection can spread. Structure Reveals One-Time Vaccine Target.

The flu virus is changing in ways never seen before, ... Scientists attribute this spike to influenza A’s newly observed ability to modify its structure in response to environmental conditions, ...

BYU researchers coauthor a paper in Science, one of the top two science journals in the world. Their research determines the structure of the influenza virus down to the atomic level. The work lays ...

TRIM25 acts earlier than previously believed, latching on to a critical and unique flu virus structure like a “molecular clamp” to keep the virus from replicating as soon as TRIM25 detects this unique ...

The Asian flu pandemic of 1957-1958 is believed to have killed as many as 1.5 million people worldwide, and the so-called Hong Kong flu pandemic of 1968-1969 is credited with as many as 1 million ...

First, the flu virus throws out short peptide segments that essentially work like grappling hooks. These peptides grab onto the target membrane, and then alter their structure to pinch together ...

But after analyzing data on flu cases reported from 2002 to 2008 in 603 U.S. cities, researchers have found that a city’s size and structure also play a role in shaping local flu epidemics ...

Flu viruses that can use a second cellular entry point may move more effectively between animals and humans, scientists say.

Scientists in Berlin have created virus shells that mimic the target cells that the flu virus latches onto in the lungs, preventing them from causing infection. As the current COVID-19 situation ...
