Researchers at The Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology have conducted a study showing how the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein interacts with host cell factors in ways that promote the formation of syncytia.
The spike protein is the main viral structure that SARS-CoV-2 uses to fuse with and enter human host cells, potentially leading to the development of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Syncytia are the large multinucleate cel…
