Scientists find a new way coronaviruses can get into human cells: « We found a new coronavirus receptor in human cells ahead of any virus spillover into the human population. » Read Full Article #COVID19 #Virology #Science
🦇 Researchers found an East African bat coronavirus, CcCoV-KY43, that can enter human lung cells by binding to the CEACAM6 receptor.
🔬 The study, using genetic sequences and viral spike proteins, identified this capability before any spillover into humans, highlighting a new way alphacoronaviruses can infect human cells.
🌍 The findings, funded by UK and Kenyan research bodies, emphasize the need for further study in East Africa to assess risks from this virus family and prepare for potential future spillover events.
