How SARS-CoV-2 Plugs Up Cellular Defenses – Technology Networks
Researchers have discovered how SARS-CoV-2 can block the ability of host cells to produce protective proteins, including immune molecules, contributing to severe…
One of the novel coronavirus most insidious tricks is that it can block the ability of cells to produce protective proteins without hindering its own ability to replicate.
Now, a multidisciplinary team of Yale researchers has discovered how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, accomplishes this trick by blocking production of cellular proteins, including immune molecules, and contributes to severe illness in its host.
The virus essentially reprograms host cells, and by understanding this…
