        • Example sentence(s)
          • Membrane fusion, they explained, is a multi-step process that begins with the virus recognising that it's found the right type of cell to infect. To do this, the virus receives feedback from the chemical environment, including cues like the receptor that the host cell presents, the study noted. The virus then attaches to the host cell receptor by way of the spike protein on its surface, it said. - India Times by
          • Other host pathways determined to be highly important in SARS and MERS-CoV replication include vesicle trafficking within the endoplasmic reticulum of host cells. It has been determined that the replicase-transcriptase machinery of the coronavirus assembles at the host endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and viral structural proteins assemble within the host ER, making it an essential cellular component and potential drug target to block both viral genome replication and capsid assembly in the formation of new virus particles during infection. - Drug Target Review by
          • And although the mechanism by which ivermectin works against the virus is not known, Wagstaff suggested it is likely that, based on its action in other viruses, the drug acts to stop the virus dampening down the host cells’ ability to clear it. - GenEng News by

          • وتُصنَّف البكتيريا المُسببة للأمراض إلى قسمين: الأول تلك الكائنات القادرة على التكاثر خارج الخلية المُضيفة، أما الثانية فتلك التي تمتلك القدرة على الدخول إلى الخلية المُضيفة والتكاثر داخلها. وتختلف إستراتيجيات مواجهة كلٍّ منها وفقًا لنوعها - scientific American by Marwa Seleem
          • وقد حدَّد لونج وزملاؤه بروتين خلية مضيفة، له وظيفة مهمة في دورة حياة فيروسات إنفلونزا (أ)، وهو عامل أساسي في نوعية خلاياها المضيفة - Nature Arabic by Marwa Seleem

        • Additional fields of expertise
        • Definition(s)
          • Gazdasejt: olyan sejt, amely a vírus számára életfeltételeket jelent, azaz benne a vírus táplálkozhat, szaporodhat, felhasználva a megtámadott sejt anyagait és energiáját. Sulinet - by Zsolt Biró
        • Example sentence(s)
          • Egyes vírusok a kapszidon kívül egy külső lipidburokkal is rendelkeznek, amelynek fehérjéi a gazdasejt sejtmembránjából származnak, és segíti a vírus kötődését a gazdasejthez. A kapszid és külső burok szerepet játszik a gazdasejthez való kapcsolódásban, a sejt belsejébe történő belépésben, a genom felszabadításában a sejten belül, az újonnan kialakult vírusrészecskék „összeszerelésében”, és a genetikai anyag egyik sejtből a másikba történő átvitelében is. - Wikipedia by Zsolt Biró

        • Definition(s)
          • värdcell, cell som härbärgerar en främmande mikroorganism eller ett virus NE - by Sven Petersson
        • Example sentence(s)
          • Virus förökar sig på två olika sätt. Det ena sättet, ett så kallat lytiskt infektionsförlopp, innebär att viruspartiklarna kidnappar värdcellens maskineri, tillverkar hundratals nya kopior av sig själv, tar död på cellen och därefter sprider sina viruskopior vidare ut i organismen. Det andra sättet, ett latent infektionsförlopp, innebär att viruspartiklar infekterar värdcellen med sitt DNA och därefter sitter viralt DNA kvar i cellerna i ett ”vilande” läge. När värdcellen delar sig, delas viruset och sprids vidare med den nya kopian av värdcellen. - forskning.se by Sven Petersson
