Fatal Attachment: Watch the Ebola virus fusion machine in action inside a human cell

Like a Trojan horse, Ebola virus sneaks into a human cell by hiding out inside lysosomes. In order to escape from the lysosome, the virus must then fuse its membrane with the membrane of the lysosome. Live imaging captures this moment of fusion in brilliant color.
