Influenza viruses replicate within the nucleus of the host cell. This uncommon RNA virus trait
provides influenza with the advantage of access to the nuclear machinery during replication …

Lipids play numerous indispensable cellular functions and are involved in multiple steps in
the replication cycle of viruses. Infections by human-pathogenic coronaviruses result in …

Lipid rafts are dynamic assemblies of proteins and lipids that harbour many receptors and
regulatory molecules and so act as a platform for signal transduction. They float freely within …

Influenza A virus causes seasonal epidemics, sporadic pandemics and is a significant
