Abstract
Replication complexes of (+)RNA viruses of eukaryotes are associated with specialized membranous domains, termed replication organelles. How these structures develop is poorly understood. In a recent Cell paper, Laufman et al. (2019) reveal that enteroviruses recruit lipid droplets to support lipid synthesis required for the structural development of replication organelles.
