\"StudyThe study of viruses and bacteria is nowadays a very current topic. Researchers from the University of Georgia and Georgia State University used a neaSNOM microscope to investigate the mechanism of penetration of individual viruses through the host cell membrane at the nanoscale. This is because different types of viruses can enter a cell differently. The most common penetration process is the complex fusion of the virus into the cell membrane, and the researchers monitored this fusion process directly at the virus-cell membrane interface. Measurements were performed at the size of a single virus using nano-FTIR spectroscopy and imaging. Comprehensive studies of the behavior of viruses and the process of penetrating the cell membrane provide vital information for the development of antiviral therapies and vaccines against many infections affecting humanity: influenza, HIV, Ebola and, of course, the current coronaviruses. This study was recently published here in PLOS ONE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
