New molecular map reveals how the flu virus hijacks human cells
Researchers have developed a detailed molecular map showing how the influenza A virus interacts with human proteins inside intact cells. This structural insight provides a new foundation for developing more effective antiviral drugs and vaccines.
Researchers at EMBL Hamburg, working with scientists at the Leibniz Research Institute for Molecular Pharmacology (FMP), have produced an unusually detailed map of how influenza A reshapes infected human cells. Their customized workflow allowed them to observe protein interactions directly inside intact cells rather than relying only on samples that had been broken apart.
