Rotavirus trapped in endosomes in cells (IMAGE)
Caption
New research from WashU Medicine identified a key enzyme, called FA2H, that enables rotavirus to infect cells. When rotavirus enters a cell without FA2H, it becomes trapped in pockets called endosomes (indicated by red arrows). This prevents the virus from infecting the rest of the cell.
