This process involves two major human proteases: the TMPRSS2 in plasma membrane and cathepsin-L (CTSL) in the endo-lysosome 74
The attachment coordinates of these ligands may use variously one, two or even all three donor atoms, which would then determine the ligands description as monodentate, bidentate or multidentate
The structure-functional properties of these 5 specific viral-hijacked host cellular factors, their ultimate pathophysiological consequence(s) due to virus-induced HMRD in acute COVID-19 and during long-COVID, the persistent virus-free PASC disease state, is comprehensively described below
A cluster of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in New Hampshire: a possible role for toxic cyanobacteria blooms
While canonical IGF-1 signaling is often assumed to account for the intracellular pathways utilized by this growth factor, a comprehensive analysis of all the pathways mediated by the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) remains lacking
