Article Synopsis
  • M is a crucial structural protein in coronaviruses, specifically SARS-CoV-2, playing a key role in forming infectious virus particles and existing in two conformational states.
  • The study identifies a specific interaction between the M protein and a type of lipid (ceramide-1-phosphate) that influences M's structure and its ability to facilitate virus assembly.
  • Disrupting this lipid-protein interaction impacts M's localization and its interactions with other viral proteins, ultimately hindering the virus's ability to enter host cells.

Background: Implementation science presents ethical issues not well addressed by traditional research ethics frameworks. There is little empirical work examining how clinicians whose work is affected by implementation studies view these issues. Accordingly, we interviewed clinicians working at sites participating in an implementation study seeking to improve patient handoffs to the intensive care unit (ICU).
