Actionable Lung Cell Responses to SARS-CoV-2 Infection

 

 

 

Teams from Pulmonary Center Faculty members Andrew Wilson and Darrell Kotton (and collaborators) recently published exciting new findings about how alveolar epithelial type 2 cells respond to SARS-CoV-2 infection!

 

 

“Briefly, we found that there are changes to cellular proteins (the proteome and phosphoproteome) that occur as soon as 1 hour after infection with SARS-CoV-2. We defined those changes and how they evolve over time following infection and demonstrate a variety of pathways that are perturbed in this process. Those pathways represent potential drug targets that could be useful for drug development.”
