Focal adhesions: structure and dynamics.

abstract：:Details of the ultrastructure of hepatitis C virus (HVC) virion remain unclear because it has proved extremely difficult to visualise virus particles from infected serum and tissues directly. In addition, although much is known about the viral genome, first cloned in 1989, little is known about HCV morphogenesis, due ...
