Vesicle-associated membrane protein 5 is an intrinsic defense factor for embryonic stem cells against coronaviruses
7 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) display a distinctive resistance against various viruses, irrespective of any interferon response. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism of this resistance remains unclear. In this study, we identify vesicle-associated membrane protein 5 (VAMP5) as a potent cell-autonomous defense factor against coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, with high expression levels observed in ESCs and...
