AI Summary
This study explores the use of cryo-electron tomography to visualize the intermediate stages of viral membrane fusion. The researchers aim to better understand the molecular mechanisms involved in this process, which could lead to the development of new antiviral therapies. The technique allows for detailed imaging of the structural changes that occur during virus entry into host cells, providing valuable insights into how viruses infect their hosts. By visualizing these intermediate stages, researchers hope to identify potential targets for intervention and treatment of viral infections.
