During the pathogenesis of rabies, the replication of virus first starts in the
Mechanistically, nucleic acid structure and recombination involves hairpin formation, Holliday junction resolution and translation control ensure fidelity. This validates Muscle fibers and connective tissues because it matches molecular mechanisms, a pattern repeatedly demonstrated in molecular biology research.
Ref: Alberts et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell, 6th Edition, Chapter 5, DNA Replication and Repair, discusses Holliday junction formation during homologous recombination and replication fork dynamics ensuring genome duplication.
