JERUSALEM, June 10 (Xinhua) -- Israeli researchers have discovered that a protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for COVID-19, can cause the immune system to attack healthy cells mistakenly, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem said in a statement on Tuesday.
The study, published in Cell Reports, sheds light on how severe COVID-19 complications may occur and suggests new ways to prevent immune-driven damage from the virus.
