An siRNA screen performed by scientists at Scripps Research has pinpointed dozens of human proteins that SARS-CoV-2 uses to complete its replication cycle. These findings could open the door to new drugs that target host proteins rather than the virus.

Host Proteins Identified in SARS-CoV-2 Replication Pathways Reveal Drug Targets

New research reveals promising drug targets to block coronaviruses at multiple stages of infection—even across different strains.
