Sumario:Melinda A. Brindley works in the field of virology with specific interests in understanding how viruses enter cells. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how the paper “Vaccinia virus uses macropinocytosis and apoptotic mimicry to enter host cells” by J. Mercer and A. Helenius (Science 320:531–535, 2008, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1155164) made an impact on her by expanding our understanding of virus-host interactions and virus-cell binding.
