Evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in utilizing host transmembrane serine proteases

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells depends on proteolytic activation of the spike protein by host proteases, a process shaped by spike mutations that influence viral specificity and infectivity. Using human airway epithelial models, this study investigated how different SARS-CoV-2 variants in...
