Remodeling of the nuclear membrane during herpesvirus assembly

Much of what we understand about the fundamental processes that enable cells to proliferate and to perform specific biological functions has come from the study of virus-host cell interactions. This fact is, in part, due to the ability of viruses to redirect key cellular processes away from their intended cellular functions towards building thousands of new virus particles comprised of relatively few components. These viral components are often produced in abundance, making the cellular processes that they influence easier to study than if one was investigating these processes in non-infected cells.
