SARS-CoV-2 spike protein changes the morphology of platelets and binds directly to the platelet integrin α5β1 and αvβ3 receptorScience & Medicine Blogs Feb 25, 2023 by DiscoverMedNews.com A new study by researchers from the United States, Spain and Japan investigated the direct effect of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein on platelet morphology. For the first time, the researchers directly visualized the binding of the S-protein to the platelet plasma membrane. The S-protein is crucial for understanding the molecular mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. tags: #coronavirus #covid-19 #spike-protein #sars-cov-2 #cytokines #platelets #cd147 #deformation #hemaphilia #neuropilin-1 #hypercoagulative |
