Influenza is a zoonotic respiratory disease of major public health interest due to its pandemic
potential, and a threat to animals and the human population. The influenza A virus genome …

Aquatic viruses are naturally present in the aquatic environment and the number of viruses
is staggering. Various multicellular organisms in aquatic ecosystems may be infected, cross …

The oral delivery of nano-drug delivery systems (Nano-DDS) remains a challenge. Taking
inspirations from viruses, here we construct core–shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles …

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes severe respiratory illness in children and
the elderly. Here, using cryogenic electron microscopy and tomography combined with …

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses from the H5Nx Goose/Guangdong/96
lineage continue to cause outbreaks in domestic and wild bird populations. Two distinct …

Negative-sense RNA virus populations are composed of diverse viral components that
interact to form a community and shape the outcome of virus infections. At the genomic level …

Antibodies are frontline defenders against influenza virus infection, providing protection
through multiple complementary mechanisms. Although a subset of monoclonal antibodies …

Filamentous structures exert biological functions mediated by multivalent interactions with
their counterparts in sharp contrast with spherical ones. The physicochemical properties and …

Influenza A viruses (IAVs) must navigate through a dense extracellular mucus to infect
airway epithelial cells. The mucous layer, composed of glycosylated biopolymers (mucins) …

Protein cages and virus-like particles are often thought of as highly uniform structures that
obey strict geometric rules for self-assembly. Yet, there is a growing number of examples …
