A new way to treat influenza using nanoparticle dendrimers containing sialic acid has been developed by a team of researchers in the US and Korea. The influenza virus binds to these nanoparticles and is thus unable to infect lung tissue. Although only tested on mice so far, the technique might help in the design of effective and innovative therapies for preventing and treating flu……
