To overcome this, the research team turned to AI-driven computational design, reimagining nanocages in tetrahedral, octahedral, and icosahedral shapes. The standout is the icosahedral nanocage ...

Virus-like particles (VLPs): Non-infectious particles that mimic the structure of viruses but do not contain viral genetic material, often used in vaccine development. Icosahedral capsid ...

Leveraging AI, the team recreated these nuanced characteristics and successfully designed nanocages in tetrahedral, octahedral, and icosahedral shapes for the first time. The resulting ...

On the other hand, it is a leading cause of virus-associated birth defects ... the particle is the viral DNA that is surrounded by an icosahedral capsid. Between the capsid and the envelope ...
