01
Overview
The "virus internalisation process" as a therapeutic target focuses on disrupting critical early steps of infection—attachment, uptake/internalization—by modulating essential host factors. This approach underpins many current strategies in developing broad-spectrum antiviral agents that are less susceptible to resistance development compared with conventional direct antivirals targeting only pathogen-specific elements.
