Research highlights by NSC

A new method to label enteroviruses with functionalized gold nanoclusters providing new tools for bioimaging

new information on virus trafficking in cells and tissues as well as on the mechanisms of virus opening inside cells

the method is expected to be useful for developing new antiviral vaccines based on virus-like particles.
