Coronavirus-specific structure in cells may lead to new antiviral strategies – News-Medical.Net

By visualizing coronavirus replication in an infected host cell, researchers may have answered a long-standing question about how newly synthesized coronavirus components are able to be incorporated into fully infectious viruses.
Their work uncovers a coronavirus-specific structure in cells that may be a target for much-needed antiviral strategies against this family of viruses. Coronaviruses replicate their large genomes in the host cell’s cytoplasm.
They do this by transforming host cell mem…
