For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, which could now help to ...

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 ...

Scientists have finally watched influenza viruses break into living human cells in real time, catching the microscopic invaders as they latch on, glide across the surface and slip inside. Instead of a ...

A microscopic sleight of hand is employed by the influenza virus: a discreet strategy that allows it to deceive the cells it ...
