Study reveals how COVID-19 infects human cells

The video explains how SARS-CoV-2 infects humans by targeting specific receptors on human cells, particularly in the lungs, heart, kidneys, and intestines. It highlights the role of the virus's spy protein, which has receptor-binding domains (RBDs) that facilitate binding and invasion of human cells. The virus specifically targets a unique AS2 receptor structure, which is bonded with an amino acid transporter, allowing the virus to enter and infect cells. This discovery could aid in developing a cure or vaccine by targeting the AS2 receptor.
