Budding HIV particles, TEM
Budding HIV particles. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of HIV particles (blue and yellow) budding from the membrane of the host cell (orange). HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) attacks CD4+ T-lymphocytes, white blood cells that are a crucial part of the bodys immune system. It enters the cell, hijacks the cells machinery to make more copies of the virus, and the new virus particles then burst from the membrane of the cell, killing it. This severely weakens the immune system, causing AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). The disease makes the patient susceptible to diseases that would otherwise be harmless

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of HIV particles. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we witness the budding process of these notorious viruses from the membrane of a host cell. The vibrant blue and yellow hues represent the viral particles, while the orange shade symbolizes the vulnerable host cell. HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, targets CD4+ T-lymphocytes - essential white blood cells that fortify our immune system. Once inside these cells, HIV manipulates their machinery to replicate itself relentlessly. Eventually, an army of new virus particles emerges and ruptures through the cell's membrane, leading to its demise. The consequences are dire as this relentless attack severely weakens our immune system, resulting in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This condition renders patients susceptible to diseases that would otherwise be harmless. Through this microscopic lens into biology and medicine, we gain insight into how HIV spreads and infects our bodies. False-coloured for enhanced visibility, this image serves as a reminder of the pathogenic power lurking within us. As researchers delve deeper into virology and immunology fields to combat this retrovirus menace, images like these provide invaluable knowledge about its propagation within our biological systems. Science Photo Library continues to contribute immensely by capturing such pivotal moments in medical history with their exceptional collection.
