Since details about influenza VLPs are scant, a team of researchers developed a 3-D model based on the 1918 H1 pandemic influenza virus.

Determining the structure of a protein called hemagglutinin on the surface of influenza B is giving researchers clues as to what kinds of mutations could spark the next flu pandemic.

Determining the structure of a protein called hemagglutinin on the surface of influenza B is giving researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University in ...

MIT chemists have discovered the structure of an influenza B protein called BM2, a finding that could help researchers design drugs that block the protein and help prevent the virus from spreading.

The flu season is coming, and the frigid temperatures make it worse. The influenza B virus is the causative agent of the common flu, but over the past years, it has become more potent in causing ...

As the number of Influenza A (H1N1) flu cases crept past 100 in Costa Rica, the World Health Organization declared the worldwide situation a pandemic. Based on the virus´ international reach, ...

Researchers who specialize in visualizing molecular structures developed a 3D model based on the 1918 H1 pandemic influenza virus. They aimed to increase knowledge on virus-like particles which show ...

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 ...

The Ren lab has previously shown that this is the case for the influenza A virus, the only known type of influenza that can cause flu pandemics, and SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

This article describes the structure of the influenza A virus. The virus uses surface proteins called haemagglutinin and neuraminidase to enter host cells.
