EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, a print by Science Photo Library, showcases the intricate structure of HIV virus particles. In this computer-generated illustration, each virion is composed of RNA enclosed within a capsid and enveloped in glycoprotein spikes. The spikes give the virus its distinctive appearance and play a crucial role in its pathogenicity. HIV, short for human immunodeficiency virus, is responsible for causing AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). This devastating syndrome weakens the body's immune system, making individuals more susceptible to various infections and diseases. The image not only highlights the artistic beauty of these microscopic pathogens but also serves as a reminder of their medical significance. It represents an amalgamation of biology and medicine, offering valuable insights into virology and microbiology research. The icosahedral shape of the virions adds to their visual appeal while emphasizing their complexity. Each particle symbolizes the potential harm that HIV can inflict on human health if left unchecked. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this scientific marvel through digital artistry. By showcasing this print, they provide us with an opportunity to appreciate both the aesthetic allure and profound impact that viruses like HIV have on our lives.
