In Japan, scientists using an ultra-high definition (8K) camera showed microscopic images of cells infected with the coronavirus (COVID-19).
The scientific work was carried out by a group of researchers from Osaka University. NHK… The recording showed that the cultured animal cells began to deform four hours after the introduction of the coronavirus. Later, the cells fell apart.
When the image was zoomed in, white granular structures were visible inside the infected cells. According to scientists, this phenomenon may be associated with the process of infection or the replication of the virus inside cells.
One of the authors of the study, Nakayama Amy, said her group was able to see previously unknown details of the infected cells. The images can be useful in assessing the effectiveness of medicines developed to treat coronavirus infections, she said.
As reported OBOZREVATEL, Japanese scientists learned to identify COVID-19 in five minutes.
