What is SARS-CoV-2 Induces Lung Inflammation about?
Research by Liu et al. reveals that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein causes cell fusion in lung cells, leading to DNA damage and excessive inflammation through the activation of the cGAS–STING pathway and upregulation of interferon-beta (IFN-β). This process contributes to severe Covid-19 symptoms, particularly in the lungs, where syncytia formation and impaired cell regeneration occur. The study highlights the dual role of the immune response in both combating the virus and potentially exacerbating tissue dama
