Inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 New Host Protease Reduces Omicron Variant Infection: Study
Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have discovered that membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases (MT-MMP) and disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) on cell membranes could guide SARS-CoV-2 invasion as intermediaries for invading cells, thus accelerating the infection.
