Viruses don’t just interact with cells biochemically — their mechanical properties also matter. We asked how modifying envelope proteins change stiffness and strength of HIV virus‑like particles (VLPs).

The mechanical interactions between virus-like particles and host cells may offer targets for new viral treatments and vaccines with modes of action t…
