CORONAVIRUS Cell Entry and RNA Delivery
SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus particle lands on a cell surface and bonds with ACE2 receptors
(purple tree-like objects). The virus particle is engulfed by the cell in a process called endocytosis. The viral RNA (yellow string) is spewed into the cell, where it will direct the production of new virus particles. With thanks to Ed Rybicki.
