Synthetic molecules mimic human cells to lure and kill the flu virus
By Michael Irving December 15, 2020 Researchers have developed a new method of attack to fight the flurbhavana/DepositphotosVIEW 1 IMAGES The influenza virus as proven to be a very tricky foe to fight. Now, researchers at EPFL in Switzerland have developed synthetic molecules that can kill the flu virus by mimicking human cells, and putting...

ANTIVIRAL DRUG REALLY WORKS AT FIGHTING FLU VIRUS
A new antiviral drug that induces mutations in the genetic material of influenza virus is highly effective in treating infection in animals and human airway tissue, a new study shows. The antiviral drug blocks RNA polymerase, the enzyme that plays a central role in replicating the genome of influenza virus, causing mutations in the viral...
