In this episode, we cover the topic of viruses. We explore a comprehensive range of subtopics including the definition and structure of viruses, their life cycles, and the differences between transduction and transfection. We also discuss virus classification, viral mutations, an ... Show More

Professor Kay Grunewald tells us how structural cell biology can help us understand virus infection. Cells constitute the smallest autonomous units of life. The tightly regulated structural and functional organisation is currently only rudimentary understood. Professor Kay Grünew ... Show More

Viruses go from one person to another. That’s the goal of the makers and creators of viruses; they are engineered and manufactured to go from one person to another. Shotgun Viruses are viruses such as Flu, Covid, and Ebola. These viruses, when entering the body, are designed to r ... Show More
