研究发现,埃博拉病毒通过皮肤细胞流动,有可能帮助人与人之间的传播。 Ebola virus moves through skin cells, potentially aiding person-to-person spread, study finds.

研究者已经发现埃博拉病毒是如何通过皮肤传播的,感染了各种细胞类型,包括巨型细胞、内皮细胞、纤维囊肿和乳腺细胞,并出现在皮肤表面。 Researchers have identified how the Ebola virus moves through the skin, infecting various cell types including macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and keratinocytes, and emerging onto the skin's surface. 利用人体皮肤样本系统进行的这一发现表明,皮肤可能是人与人之间传播病毒的一条途径。 This discovery, made using a human skin sample system, suggests the skin can be a route for person-to-person transmission of the virus. 该研究发表在《科学进步》上,也为检测抗病毒药物对抗埃博拉提供了新方法。 The study, published in Science Advances, also provides a new method for testing antiviral drugs against Ebola.
