Budding Electron Micrograph Infecting Kidney Particles Swine Tissue Transmission Virions Virology Virus
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus (PERV) in all its intricate detail. Taken using a transmission electron microscope, this colored image reveals the fascinating world of virology and xenotransplantation. The picture captures a swine tissue infected with PERV, specifically focusing on the pig kidney cells. The electron micrograph beautifully highlights the budding particles or virions of this retrovirus, which can infect human cells as well. This phenomenon raises important questions about potential risks associated with xenotransplantation procedures. The vibrant colors used in this image emphasize the significance of studying PERV and understanding its behavior within different host organisms. It serves as a reminder that viruses are not limited to affecting only one species but can cross boundaries and pose challenges for medical advancements. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an awe-inspiring visual representation of scientific research. Their dedication to capturing such detailed images allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty found within microscopic worlds like these. This particular photograph is a testament to their commitment in providing valuable resources for scientists, educators, and enthusiasts alike who seek to explore and comprehend our ever-evolving biological landscape.
