New study explains how SARS-CoV-2 may seize human cells

Another detailed study by the American Association for the Advancement of Science asserts that the SARS-CoV-2 virus not only targets to enter the human cells but begin to replicate and spread as well.

The findings also highlight that the possibilities could potentially serve as targets for new therapies for patients with COVID-19, although validation in cells and animal models is needed.

Scientists know that SARS-CoV-2 binds the ACE2 receptor on the surface of human cells, after which it enters the cell through a process known as endocytosis.

Research has suggested that the virus may hijack or interfere with other processes such as cellular housekeeping (autophagy) by targeting other receptors called integrins.

However, not much is known about exactly how the virus takes advantage of integrins on the biochemical level.

Cure or Threat? Wuhan Lab's New Intranasal Vaccine Sparks Fears of Another Covid-like Crisis

A new intranasal vaccine developed by researchers at the Wuhan lab has recently been unveiled, promising a novel approach to combating infectious diseases. However, this breakthrough has also sparked significant controversy and concern. While the vaccineโ€™s potential to offer a more accessible and efficient method of vaccination is hailed as a major advancement, its origins and the circumstances surrounding its development are raising alarms about a possible new health crisis. Critics worry that the technology used in this vaccine could inadvertently lead to another pandemic-like scenario if not carefully monitored. As the world cautiously watches, the vaccine's rollout is stirring a heated debate about safety, preparedness, and the ethical implications of such advanced biological research. #IntranasalVaccine #WuhanLab #CovidCrisis #HealthFears #VaccineDebate #PandemicRisk #BioResearch #VaccineDevelopment #PublicHealth #InfectiousDiseases #SafetyConcerns #GlobalHealth #VaccineInnovation #EthicalIssues #HealthSecurity ~HT.97~PR.152~
