New study reveals how influenza virus infiltrates heart tissue via specialised immune cells, triggering damaging interferon ...

A Vero-cell-culture–derived trivalent influenza vaccine had a protective efficacy of 79% against antigenically matched influenza strains. Conventional egg-based influenza vaccines have several ...

For the first time, scientists have been able to watch the flu virus live as it infects human airway cells. They developed a ...

December 12, 2011 — Children with sickle cell anemia who receive the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine are no more likely to be hospitalized for sickle cell crisis than children with sickle cell ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body's gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread. A new study also shows that an already approved drug could help strengthen immune defenses -- though its ...

Secondary infections caused by bacteria or viruses during hospital care remain a long-standing global challenge, despite advances in modern medicine. In particular, mixed bacterial-viral infections in ...

Functional plasticity of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and T cells is regulated by host environmental cues, but the influence of pathogen-derived virulence factors has not been described. We now report ...

Influenza D virus, a pathogen best known for causing respiratory illness in cattle, appears to be silently infecting farmworkers across multiple continents, according to a growing body of serological ...

Influenza hemagglutinin subunit vaccines are more effective and offer better cross protection against various influenza virus challenges when combined with a mucosal adjuvant that enhances the body's ...

A live-cell imaging tool allowed researchers to follow influenza A virus through its life cycle in airway organoids, showing ...
