Summary:
    Researchers have gained new understanding of the virus that causes hepatitis B and the 'spiky ball' that encloses its genetic blueprint. They looked at how the capsid -- a protein shell that protects the blueprint and also drives the delivery of it to infect a host cell -- assembles itself. The capsid is an important target in developing drugs to treat hepatitis B, a life-threatening and incurable infection that afflicts more than 250 million people worldwide.

摘要：
     研究人員對引起乙型肝炎的病毒和包含其基因藍圖的“尖刺球”有了新的認識。 他們研究了衣殼如何自我組裝。衣殼是一種蛋白質殼，可以保護藍圖並驅動其傳遞以感染宿主細胞。 衣殼是開發治療乙型肝炎的藥物的重要目標，乙型肝炎是威脅生命和無法治癒的感染，困擾著全球超過2.5億人。
