AI Article Synopsis
- Receptor binding plays a key role in determining which tissues SARS-CoV-2 can infect.
- SARS-CoV-2 shows neurotropism, meaning it can infect the central nervous system (CNS) by interacting with various receptors.
- Sigma receptors may play a role in how SARS-CoV-2 transmits within neurons.
Article Abstract
• Receptor binding is a major determinant of tissue tropism for SARS-CoV-2. • Neurotropism of SARS-CoV-2 associated with a broad range of receptors in the central nervous system (CNS). • Sigma receptors may be involved in the neuronal transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
