Flu cases are through the roof across the U.S. right now. And, while cold and flu season always packs a punch, it feels like this year has been especially bad. That's because a common strain of flu ...

However, viruses are dynamic—constantly evolving and changing shape, which can make designing antiviral treatments a challenge. But new research utilizes an innovative computational ...

Influenza A virus particles adapt shape—as filaments and spheres—to help them infect cells depending on environmental conditions. A group of virus particles exhibiting these diverse shapes ...

Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape—to become either spheres or larger filaments—to favor their ability to infect cells depending on environmental conditions, according to a ...

This isn't necessarily new info, but experts hadn't observed this specific shape-shifting in the flu before. Viruses generally tend to mutate to become more infectious, explains infectious disease ...
