Flu viruses enter cells through sialic acids, which serve as entry points. Right now, the H5N1 virus hasn’t learned to ...

The study reveals the role of a sugar called sialic acid in this invasion process. The findings have major implications for malaria vaccine and drug development. A recent breakthrough sheds light ...

Several cell-surface molecules have been implicated in the early interactions of rotavirus with its host cell, including sialic acid, various integrins, heat shock protein 70 and gangliosides.

Flu viruses enter cells through sialic acids, which serve as entry points. Right now, the H5N1 virus hasn’t learned to efficiently access the human version of the sialic acid receptor.

The FDA said that it does not think it is likely that the particles would able to infect people but it is conducting ...
