Overview

Host cells are cells that allow a particular organism or virus to reproduce and survive. They are essential for the survival of many organisms and viruses, as they provide a place for a virus to embed itself and make copies. Host cells can be from humans, animals, plants, bacteria, and fungi. By manipulating the host cell's environment, scientists are able to study and modify the behavior of the virus and use this knowledge to develop treatments, vaccines, drugs, and other medical therapies to treat conditions caused by viruses. Host cells also play an important role in biotechnology and biomanufacturing, as they can be used to produce large quantities of proteins or medicines.
