Ebola Segmentation
3D-segmentation of different structures related to an infection with the Ebola virus. Three tube-like viruses are present, with their membranes shown in red. To infect the cell, the viruses next have to form a fusion pore with the endosomal membrane and then release their genome through this pore and into the host cell. | © Petr Chlanda
