To find the answer, they developed a way to observe and measure real-time influenza A virus structure during formation. The researchers found: Influenza A viruses rapidly adjust their shape when ...

Yi Ren's most recent paper, published in eLife, describes the structure of a protein complex ... shown that this is the case for the influenza A virus, the only known type of influenza that ...

The RNP complex is the influenza virus’s essential package, the virus’s blueprints and a copy machine all rolled in one. The ...

Pigs are the most important reservoir for influenza A viruses, acting as an intermediary host for both interspecies transmission and genetic reassortment. This is due to the high susceptibility of ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body's gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg. Their study also shows that an already ...

His research involves studying the structure of viruses and how they interface ... there has been a steady stream of known and emerging viruses, including HIV, Ebola and, of course, influenza comes ...

The influenza A virus redirects the RNA interference protein AGO2 into the cell nucleus, where it suppresses type I interferon genes, weakening immune signaling.
