Flu virus particles, artwork F008 / 3244
Flu virus particles, computer artwork. In the virus envelope are two types of protein spike, haemagglutinin (H, light green) and neuraminidase (N, dark green), which determine the strain of virus. These are used for recognising and binding to the host cell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Flu virus particles" delves into the intricate world of microbiology and virology. The print showcases the flu virus enveloped in a vibrant red background, symbolizing disease and illness. At the forefront of this image are two types of protein spikes: haemagglutinin (H) depicted in light green and neuraminidase (N) in dark green. These spikes play a crucial role in determining the strain of the virus as they recognize and bind to host cells. The illustration serves as a testament to ongoing research efforts aimed at understanding influenza better. It highlights the significance of these proteins for viral survival and proliferation within our bodies. By unraveling their mechanisms, scientists hope to develop effective treatments or vaccines that can combat this notorious microbe. Beyond its scientific value, this artwork is visually striking with its meticulous attention to detail. Every element has been carefully crafted by Roger Harris from Science Photo Library, resulting in an eye-catching composition that seamlessly blends artistry with biology. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience inherent within our biological systems. It prompts us to reflect on our collective pursuit towards safeguarding public health against infectious diseases like influenza – a mission driven by dedicated researchers worldwide who tirelessly work towards unraveling nature's mysteries for humanity's benefit.
