Caption

This is an image of the Lassa virus glycoprotein structure, which is the viral machinery that Lassa virus uses to enter human cells. Researchers hope studies led by researchers at the Scripps Research Institute and partially done at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne could lead to therapies for the disease, which kills thousands every year.
