Retrovirus entering a cell, artwork
Retrovirus entering a cell. Computer artwork of the first stage of retrovirus infecting a cell. Molecules on the surface of the virus interact with receptors on the cell membrane(blue line) allowing the virus to enter the cell. Shown here is clathrin (red triangles)-dependent endocytosis of the virus particle, which may be used by some retroviruses to enter the cell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Retrovirus entering a cell" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the microscopic world of virology. Against a striking black background, we witness the intricate first stage of retrovirus infecting a cell. The artist skillfully depicts molecules on the surface of the virus engaging with receptors on the cell membrane, represented by a delicate blue line. The focal point of this illustration is clathrin-dependent endocytosis, showcased by vibrant red triangles. This fascinating process serves as an entry point for some retroviruses to infiltrate cells. Through this visually stunning portrayal, we gain insight into how these viruses exploit cellular mechanisms to establish infection. With its meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy, this artwork seamlessly blends biology and artistry. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the complexity and beauty inherent in microbiological processes. Labeled with precision and accompanied by informative text, this print from Science Photo Library invites us to delve deeper into our understanding of retroviruses and their interactions with host cells. It serves as both an educational tool for those studying micro biology or virology and as an aesthetically pleasing piece that sparks curiosity about the hidden wonders within our bodies.
