New protein acts as trickster to neutralize COVID-19 infection in human kidney organoid Decoy protein intercepts spike of coronavirus. Virus prevented from infecting human cells. Protein may be a new way to treat and prevent COVID-19. Northwestern Medicine scientists have developed a new protein that acts as a trickster to neutralize the COVID-19 infection in a human kidney organoid, a miniature organ made from stem cells in the lab. The protein is a variant of ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme-2), the receptor the coronavirus uses to enter and infect human cells. The modified protein inter...

CHICAGO, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- Northwestern Medicine scientists have developed a new protein that acts as a trickster to neutralize the COVID-19 infection in a human kidney organoid, a miniature organ made from stem cells in the lab. The protein is a variant of ACE2, angiotensin converting enzyme-2, the receptor the coronavirus uses to enter and infect human cells. The modified protein intercepts the S spike of the coronavirus and fools it into binding to it rather than the real ACE2 receptor in cell membranes. The researchers have studied ACE2 for many years as part of a potential trea...

Date Time New protein neutralizes COVID in tiny human kidney Northwestern Medicine scientists have developed a new protein that acts as a trickster to neutralize the COVID-19 infection in a human kidney organoid, a miniature organ made from stem cells in the lab. The protein is a variant of ACE2 (angiotensin converting enzyme-2), the receptor the coronavirus uses to enter and infect human cells. The modified protein intercepts the S spike of the coronavirus and fools it into binding to it rather than the real ACE2 receptor in cell membranes. “The idea was to administer our protein to interc...
