Hepatitis B affects more than 250 million people worldwide, but what makes this virus so persistent and difficult to cure? In this video, we dive deep into the biochemistry of Hepatitis B (HBV) to understand how it infects liver cells, hijacks molecular machinery, and evades complete elimination.

You’ll learn:

How HBV binds to hepatocytes through the NTCP receptor

Why the virus forms cccDNA, a hidden archive inside the nucleus

The unique role of reverse transcription and why HBV is called a pararetrovirus

How the immune system’s attack leads to liver damage, fibrosis, and even cancer

The science behind current treatments like entecavir and tenofovir

Promising future strategies: cccDNA silencing, immune therapy, and CRISPR gene editing


By the end, you’ll see how a tiny DNA virus uses incredible biochemical tricks to survive—and how scientists are working to fight back with equally powerful tools.
