When viruses attack! (cool video)

From this site:

ARLINGTON, Va.—Using a combination of imaging techniques, researchers have determined the mechanics that allow some viruses to invade cells by piercing their outer membranes and digesting their cell walls. The researchers combined their findings with earlier studies to create a near-complete scenario for that form of viral assault.

Check out the video (20Mb, dial-up beware).

Go here: http://www.nsf.gov/od/lpa/ and scroll down to where it says, “Viruses on the attack.” It’s a cool video. The virus in motion looks like a daddy longlegs or something.

That was a pretty cool video.

I didn’t know viruses could ‘twist and drill’ their way into cells. Cool!
