Hepatitis C virus, artwork
Hepatitis C virus. Computer artwork of hepatitis C virus particles (virions) in the human body. The virus consists of a core of RNA (ribonucleic acid) enclosed in a capsid, surrounded by a glycoprotein envelope (purple). Inserted in the envelope are surface proteins (dark patches), which help the virus attach to its host cell. The hepatitis C virus infects liver cells causing an inflammatory disease that can lead to degeneration and scarring (cirrhosis). It is transmitted by blood-to-blood contact. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the Hepatitis C virus in intricate detail, highlighting its presence within the human body. The image reveals a cluster of virions, each composed of RNA enclosed in a protective capsid and surrounded by a distinct purple glycoprotein envelope. Dark patches on this envelope represent surface proteins crucial for attaching to host cells. Hepatitis C is an infectious disease primarily targeting liver cells, leading to inflammation that can progress into cirrhosis if left untreated. Transmitted through blood-to-blood contact, this pathogenic virus poses significant health risks worldwide. Unfortunately, no vaccine has been developed thus far to combat Hepatitis C. The artistic representation not only emphasizes the biological complexity of this viral infection but also serves as a reminder of the ongoing medical challenges faced by healthcare professionals and researchers alike. By shedding light on the microscopic world of pathogens like Hepatitis C, such illustrations contribute to our understanding and appreciation of microbiology's role in healthcare. This visually striking print from Science Photo Library offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the fascinating realm where art meets science—a testament to both human creativity and scientific exploration.
