Tobacco Mosaic Virus and Cellular Endocytosis
Smallstorm uses a mailman analogy to explain how the Tobacco Mosaic Virus acts as a delivery envelope for mRNA instructions in vaccines. She describes the process of endocytosis, where cells take in these synthetic materials thinking they are nutrients, only to be hijacked into producing spike proteins. These proteins are then expelled via exosomes, which Smallstorm defines as shuttles for genetic information that can affect other cells.
