A combination of imaging techniques reveals how herpes simplex virus type 1 assembles within infected cells, highlighting the roles of essential viral proteins in viral assembly and exit.

This step adds the viral envelope and protective outer layer. The immature viruses travel through the Golgi apparatus complex, where the viruses mature and convert into their infectious form.

Some viruses also have a lipid envelope embedded with proteins. Both enveloped and nonenveloped viruses use the proteins present on their surfaces to bind to and enter the host cell. Helenius's ...

Some viruses, like coronaviruses, have an extra fatty envelope to keep their genetic material safe. This is vital because like all living creatures, viruses aim to pass on their genes by reproducing.

It is derived from the cell membrane of the host cell when the virus buds, or exits, the infected cell. The envelope is important for entry into a host cell. Viruses with an envelope are generally ...

It is a bundle of DNA or RNA bound up in a minuscule core, sometimes surrounded by a sturdy envelope and sometimes not. It can reproduce, but not by itself. It relies on an outside partner to ...

Viruses are comparatively simple in structure, consisting of a piece of genetic material (RNA or DNA) enclosed in a protein coat (the capsid). Some also have an outer envelope. Viruses get into ...

The Zika virus builds tiny tunnels, called tunneling nanotubes, to stealthily transport material needed to infect nearby ...
