Symplast-forming virus (V. Symplast) is the general name for viruses that are capable of causing the appearance of multinucleated (symplast) cells in a culture of infected cells. These viruses can cause a variety of diseases, including some forms of cancer, and can also be used as tools to study cell biology and genetics.
Symplast-forming viruses include some paramyxoviruses (e.g., herpes simplex virus), oncornaviruses (e.g., coronavirus), rhabdoviruses (e.g., polyoma virus), papovaviruses (e.g., papovavirus), herpes group viruses (e.g., cytomegalovirus), and smallpox viruses (e.g., monkeypox).
Symplast-forming viruses cause the appearance of multinucleated cells in infected cultures, which allows researchers to study the mechanisms of formation and functioning of multinucleated cells, as well as to study the interaction between cells in multinucleated formations.
In medical practice, Symplast-forming viruses can be associated with various diseases, including cancer, hepatitis B, encephalitis, polio and others. However, most research on symplast-forming viruses is carried out in the fields of cell biology, genetics and virology.
Studying symplast-forming viruses may help develop new treatments for diseases associated with multinucleated cells, as well as create new tools for studying cell biology.
**Simplate-forming virus**
Symplate-forming virus is the general name for viruses that cause the appearance of cellular symplasia (multinucleate cells) in infectious cell cultures. Simplation is the process of fusion of mononuclear cells, as a result of which they become multinucleated and a symplast is formed. The process of symplast formation is a natural continuation of the process that begins to occur when cells unite or are extended towards each other through macrophages as a result of damage, when the DNA of all suitable cells enters one nucleus. When new DNA is formed in the cytoplasm of the assembling cells, it turns on
