Like other viruses, retroviruses attack cells and force them to produce more retroviruses. This is only the first stage of the attack, because retroviruses implant into the genome and become part of our DNA. Authors: 3sat/nano/Docstation/Johan von Mirbach/Anna Grün/Riccardo Giese/Nico Schlegel, Max
There are probably 100 million different types of viruses. Their attacks always follow the same pattern. The viruses attach to a cell, transfer their genetic material and force the host cells to produce new viruses. Author: 3sat/nano/Docstation/Johan von Mirbach/Anna Grün/Riccardo Giese/Nico Schleg
The coronavirus is an RNA virus. An RNA is chemically more susceptible than a DNA. Errors occur more frequently during copying, and the virus mutates. Our immune system reacts slowly to it, vaccine development is more difficult. Author: 3sat/nano/Docstation/Johan von Mirbach/Anna Grün/Riccardo Gies
