How COVID-19 Hijacks the Cytoskeleton: Therapeutic Implications
30 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
The SARS-CoV-2 virus invades and replicates within host cells by "hijacking" biomolecular machinery, gaining control of the microtubule cytoskeleton. After attaching to membrane receptors and entering cells, the SARS-CoV-2 virus co-opts the dynamic intra-cellular cytoskeletal network of microtubules, actin, and the microtubule-organizing center, enabling three factors that lead to clinical pathology: (1) viral...
