We can now watch influenza enter human cells

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 ...

ETH Zurich microscopy method identifies how influenza viruses infect cells

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza (“flu”) viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, developed at ETH ...
