The copies accumulate in viral buds that then break free from the host cell to infect another host. Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have now used solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to obtain a clear picture of how these buds pinch off from the host cell membrane.
