Scientists discover new "gateway" via which COVID-19 can enter lungs
January 21, 2021 14:41
The "gateway" to the cells of the lungs and bronchi for the COVID-19 can be not only the ACE2 protein but also the AXL enzyme, said scientists in their new study on Cell Research.
AXL is a membrane protein that is responsible for many physiological processes, including cell survival, differentiation, and immune responses.
However, as it turned out, the same protein can facilitate the penetration of COVID-19 into the lungs.
Scientists have also found that disabling these receptors can significantly reduce the number of viral copies of RNA in human lung epithelial cells.
