The reason why humans cannot resist viruses has improved a lot

Virus-borne diseases can only be slowed and suppressed, but have never been completely cured.

By intelligence, humanity has conquered the whole planet, breaking many of the inherent rules of nature and doing unbelievable things.

But as soon as we are most proud, the Creator gives us the opposite. People may be good enough to overcome all other creatures larger than us, but still have to give up on a small species many times more. That is the virus.

Indeed! From dangerous viruses such as HIV, Ebola, SARS, Japanese encephalitis . to common colds, all have no medication.

With bacteria, we can kill them with antibiotics, but cannot do the same thing with viruses. Currently, the only way to deal with them without harming the cells is to rely on the immune system - and this method is not always effective.

In other words, the healing process is quite passive because there are no drugs that kill the virus.

But why is that?

In the course of the study, scientists have proposed several main reasons for the "stubbornness" of the virus.

One is that they have an incredibly simple and sophisticated structure . All viruses are made up of two basic parts: genetic material (DNA or RNA) and shell. This is different from bacteria that include genetic material (DNA, plasmid), membranes and ribosomes.

Bacterial cell membranes are very different from the cell membranes of animals, so they are easily attacked independently by antibiotics.

The virus is not like that. Their crust is the twisted structure protein, and is not destroyed in the usual way.

In addition, the simple structure of the virus makes it impossible for them to replicate themselves, but helps them to "hide" in a good way. The virus, when approaching the cell, injects its DNA / RNA into the genome, causing the genes to fail.

As a result, the cells themselves will use their nutrients and enzymes to synthesize new parts for the virus. And the virus multiplied like that.

After building a powerful army, the virus will massively break the host cell out.

This plan is so perfect, because the virus is inside the cell, carrying out all activities in the cell so the immune system is difficult to detect. Drugs also cannot attack viruses without harming the host.

And yet, they are very difficult to deal with because of their ability to rapidly turn their genes around.The genetic material of the virus is short , often in a single form and does not have mutation control mechanisms. Some viruses can also increase their genome size by 7% - 10%, with new parts coding for substances that counter attack from the immune system.

In fact, people are suffering from viruses.

Unfortunately for us, these traits give the virus a different talent: improvisation before the agents that attack it. After only a short time, the medicine that we hold in our hands becomes useless, and must be studied again from the beginning.

The battle between a virus and a human will continue until - no one knows. We only know and aim for a long time, so getting to know them is quite small. In fact, people are suffering.

Who will win, only have time to prove it.
