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 ...

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 ...
