Higher-than-car-tire Internal Pressure Helps Virus Blast Infectious DNA into Human Cells
A new study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society reveals that viruses that cause painful lip blisters, or cold sores, literally blasts its infectious DNA into human cells by making use of its internal pressure, which is eight times higher than that of a car tire.
