Newly discovered bat virus shares the same entry method as Covid-19

Summary by The Express Tribune
A newly discovered bat coronavirus uses the same cell-surface protein to gain entry into human cells as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, Chinese researchers have reported. The virus does not enter human cells as readily as SARS-CoV-2 does, the Chinese researchers reported in the journal Cell, noting some of its limitations. The scientists said that like SARS-CoV-2, the bat virus HKU5-CoV-2 contains a feature known as the furin cleavage…

China discovers new bat coronavirus capable of infecting humans: Top points

The new bat coronavirus uses the same cell-surface protein to infiltrate human cells as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that caused Covid-19. Chinese researchers have found a new bat coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, which has the potential to infect humans as it uses the same cell-surface protein to infiltrate cells as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that caused Covid-19. The study on the new virus, published in the Cell scientific journal, was carried out by leading Chines…

Scientists find new virus that could infect humans in same way as COVI – khbrknews

A newly discovered bat coronavirus could at some point spread to humans like COVID-19, Chinese researchers have found. The virus, HKU5-CoV-2, does not enter human cells as readily as SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, the scientists reported in the journal Cell. However, they found that the bat virus uses the same cell-surface protein, ACE2, as SARS-CoV-2 to help it enter human cells. In lab experiments, HKU5-CoV-2 infected human cells with high…

Researchers uncover new bat coronavirus HKU5-CoV-2

Chinese scientists have identified a newly discovered bat coronavirus, called HKU5-CoV-2, that uses the same ACE2 receptor as SARS-CoV-2 to enter human cells, according to a study in the journal Cell and covered by Reuters. While lab tests confirm it can infect ACE2-expressing human cell models, the virus binds to ACE2 with much lower affinity… The post Chinese researchers uncover new bat virus HKU5-CoV-2 that shares COVID‑19’s entry pathway app…
