As simple as it is, the SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, has researchers around the world grappling to explain how it infiltrates the human immune system, setting off a viral chain reaction throughout the body. Understanding how the process works could lead to more effective ways of targeting drugs to stop that reaction.
