摘要

Investigating the mechanical cues involved in virus-cell interactions opens novel possibilities for understanding the underlying mech-anisms guiding viral infection,which will have great impacts on virology and human health.The threat from viruses to human health is increasingly severe,and new deadly viruses are constantly dis-covered in the world,including severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus,severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2,Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus(MERS-CoV),Zika virus(ZIKV),Ebola virus,avian influenza virus,and so on[1-3],which pose unprecedented burden to human society.
