Researchers from Mukogawa Women's University Report on Findings in Influenza (Soybean Extract Inhibits Influenza Virus Entry: Mechanistic Insights).

Researchers from Mukogawa Women's University in Hyogo, Japan have discovered that soybean extract has inhibitory effects on the entry of influenza viruses into cells. The study found that soybean extract hindered virus uptake by cells and targeted the clathrin-dependent endocytosis pathway. These findings suggest that soybean extract could be a potential innovative antiviral intervention for influenza. The research was supported by Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research.
