Spike Protein Goes to Nucleus and Impairs DNA Repair (In-Vitro Study – Not Possible In-Vivo)

Course Content
Spike Protein
The spike protein is located on the outside of a coronavirus and is how SARS-CoV-2 (the coronavirus) enters human cells. Its location on the outside of the virus makes it so the immune system can recognize it easily. The spike protein is unique to SARS-CoV-2 – it doesn't look like other proteins your body makes.

About Lesson

Spike Protein Goes to Nucleus and Impairs DNA Repair (In-Vitro Study) In this concerning in-vitro study the researchers show how SARS-COV-2 Spike protein and other proteins go to a cell’s nucleus and impair DNA repair and cell’s immune responses. Let’s review the study. (My takeaway is that this isn’t possible in our bodies.)
