The utility of human neuroblastoma cell lines as in vitro model to study neuro-invasiveness
and neuro-virulence of SARS-CoV-2 has been demonstrated by our laboratory and others …

Sarbecoviruses such as SARS and SARS-CoV-2 have been responsible for two major
outbreaks in humans, the latter resulting in a global pandemic. While sarbecoviruses …

Membrane nanotubes are cell protrusions that grow to tens of micrometres and functionally
connect cells. Actin filaments are semi-flexible polymers, and their polymerisation provides …

Although severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) entry mechanism
has been explored, little is known about how SARS-CoV-2 regulates the subcellular …

Background Human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) is the receptor mediating
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. hACE2 …

The effects of SARS‐CoV‐2 in COVID‐19 on the nervous system are incompletely
understood. SARS‐CoV‐2 can infect endothelial cells, neurons, astrocytes, and …

Ebola virus (EBOV) disease is marked by rapid virus replication and spread. EBOV enters
the cell by macropinocytosis and replicates in the cytoplasm, and nascent virions egress …

Corneal HSV-1 infections are a leading cause of infectious blindness globally by triggering
tissue damage due to the intense inflammation. HSV-1 infections are treated mainly with …

The cytoskeleton facilitates tumor cells invasion into the bloodstream via vasculogenic
mimicry (VM) for “attack”, and protects cells against external threats through cytoskeletal …

Mutation in oncogene KRas plays a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of
numerous malignant tumors. Malignancy involves changes in cell mechanics for extensive …
