Scientists Investigate Solutions for Building Cell Membrane Defense against COVID-19 (image)

Caption
The cell membrane is the cell's first line of defense against the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19. The surface of the virus is covered with spike proteins, which bind to the cell membrane and facilitate viral infection. Researchers are investigating how this process works and what treatments can help to stop it.
