Helping to explain what makes SARS-CoV-2 so capable of infecting human cells, researchers in two independent studies discovered that the virus’s spike protein recognizes and binds a protein on the human cell surface called neuropilin-1. This facilitates its ability to enter and infect cells, they suggest.
