Scientists used fluorescence microscopy to visualize human ACE2 proteins expressed on mouse cells after incubating the cells with fluorescently labeled SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (green). Left: a view ...
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, infects cells by binding its spike protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors. Blocking this interaction with inhibitors could prevent ...
In a recent study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers demonstrated that human transferrin receptor (TfR) mediates severe acute respiratory syndrome ...
