Read research and analysis on Fibrinogen's Dual Role in SARS-CoV-2: Evading Antibodies and Endothelial Targeting published by ICANEWS, a global research journal for emerging researchers.
The proposed mechanism of fibrinogen's interaction with SARS-CoV-2 could explain aspects of viral immune evasion and endothelial tropism, potentially influencing understanding of COVID-19 pathology.
Research suggests that fibrinogen, a plasma protein primarily known for its role in blood clotting, may assume an additional function during SARS-CoV-2 infection. This hypothesized role involves acting as a molecular bridge, which could contribute to the virus's ability to evade neutralizing antibodies and reach endothelial cells.
