Studying Flu Virus Structure Brings Us a Step Closer to a Permanent VaccineHarvard University
A team of scientists from The Scripps Research Institute and other institutions has solved the structure of a key protein from the virus that caused last year's "swine flu" influenza epidemic. The structure reveals that the virus shares many features with influenza viruses common in the early 20...

Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is a leading cause of respiratory illness, particularly in the young, elderly, and immunocompromised, and has also been linked to the development of asthma. HRSV replication depends on P and L, whereas transcription also requires M2-1. M2-1 interacts ...

In the placental villi, nearly the entire maternofetal and fetomaternal exchange takes place. There is only a limited contribution to this exchange by the extraplacental membranes. In addition, most metabolic and endocrine activities of the placenta have been localized in the villi (for review, ...

The team has found that this virus uses the same protein to switch between genome replication and transcription. "It gets both jobs done with one enzyme. The virus's genome is so small, and this gives it economy of scale," said Lamb....
