In new images, it captured close-up of cells in infected airways With the emerging corona virusA frightening scene appeared, showing how Covid 19 had penetrated the place.
The pictures revealed an enormous number of Pandemic particles That replicate during infection, as infected cells can reproduce thousands of these molecules.
Advanced electron microscope
In turn, Camille Erie, assistant professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, was able to capture images using an advanced electron microscope.
While researchers to obtain the images, which were published, on Wednesday, in the “New England Medicine” medical magazine, to inject Corona Virus In human respiratory tract cells in the laboratory, and then tested them 4 days later.

In the pictures, the virus particles look like little balls surrounded by thorns resembling a crown, which is what gave the virus its name known as “Coronavirus”.
The virus also uses those spines to invade human cells, and the image also shows a high density of virus particles inside the human respiratory tract.
In the context, Dr. Camille explained that the analysis of the virus concentration in the sample indicates the production and release of a large number of viruses in every cell of the respiratory tract.

Claws like nails
Last June, researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, discovered that the human cell, after being infected with the Coronavirus, secretes what looks like multi-lateral claws that resemble spikes, and it contains particles of the virus, to help it spread in various parts of the body.

It is noteworthy that the new Corona virus has so far claimed more than 863,000 lives since it appeared in China last December, and more than 26 million confirmed cases have been recorded.
