A second pathway into cells for SARS-CoV-2: New understanding of the neuropilin-1 protein could speed vaccine research – The Conversation US
Scientists in the UK and Germany discovered a new doorway that the COVID-19 virus uses to infect human cells. This reveals new therapeutic possibilities for blocking…
When it comes to how the coronavirus invades a cell, it takes three to tango. The dance began with the ACE2 receptor, a protein on human cells that allows SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, to enter and infect the cell. But now enter a new dance partner another protein that is present on human cells. This tango of three proteins two human and one viral enhances the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to enter human cells, replicate and cause disease.
