New Molecular Map Reveals How Flu Virus Hijacks Human Cells The latest research from European Molecular Biology Laboratory scientists, published in Nature Microbiology, has shed new light on the ways influenza A hijacks human cells to fuel its replication.
The study provides a detailed molecular map of how this deadly virus commandeers cellular machinery.
Researchers used a combination of experimental data and computational structural modeling to identify direct contacts between influenza proteins and human proteins inside infected cells.
