Key human proteins that power coronavirus replication point to new treatment strategies
Despite vaccines and treatments, SARS-CoV-2—the virus that causes COVID-19—continues to pose a global health threat, driven by new variants and its ability to hijack human cells in ways that still ...
In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers use cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) in tandem with molecular dynamics simulation to reveal that the usually closed spike proteins ...
Coronavirus spike protein activated natural immune response, damaged heart muscle cells, study finds
Researchers have demonstrated a potential route of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein damaging the heart. In a study evaluating mice and human heart cells, the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein inflamed the heart ...
