Studying the physics of viruses could improve treatments
Original: Viruses obey the laws of physics – studying how can help researchers understand why they infect people differently and lead to better treatments
Researchers argue that viruses, despite being biological agents, obey the laws of physics, and that studying their physical behaviour can explain why they infect people differently. Understanding how viral particles move, bind and assemble at a physical level could guide the development of better treatments for viral infections. The piece highlights an emerging interdisciplinary approach linking physics and virology to infectious disease research.
