SARS-CoV-2 can infect human neurons. Here is our study on the virus entry pathway and inhibition of infection in neurons. Big thanks to the fantastic team.

The combined use of apilimod with camostat mesylate or nafamostat mesylatethat synergistically inhibits the two host factors that facilitate SARS-CoV2 entry into the cells and, prevents the SARS-CoV2 infection in different cell types. #COVID19 #SARSCoV2

2 compounds, 7-hydroxystaurosporine & bafetinib, have synergistic antiviral effects and inhibit viral-induced syncytia formation in vitro.

Open Sesame! Researchers discovered the second ‘key’ used by the SARS-CoV-2 virus to enter into human cells | University of Helsinki https://t.co/0f8BgLmlk6

[Olli_Vapalahti @Olli_Vapalahti]

Now out in Science: Furin cleavage of SARS-CoV2 Spike creates a "C-end rule" site for enhanced cell entry via neuropilin-1. A new therapeutic target revealed. A big effort at UH BSL-3s and a great collaboration led by Mikael Simons and Giuseppe Balistreri https://t.co/BfiKnkfgVl

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

Helping explain what makes #SARSCOV2 so capable of infecting human cells, researchers in two independent studies discovered that the virus’s spike protein recognizes and binds a protein on the human cell surface called neuropilin-1 https://t.co/kA73KHnvCw; https://t.co/Mwn1XBltyk
