Key Points
- Researchers from La Trobe University have identified a key mechanism that may link COVID-19 infection and lung damage
- Lung damage is one of the possible long term effects of COVID-19
- The macromolecular crystallography beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron continue to provide insights into the structural biology of COVID-19
The Macromolecular and microfocus beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron continue to be an invaluable resource for studies in structural biology relating to COVID-19.
This week researchers from La Trobe University reported that they have identified a key mechanism in how SARS-CoV-2 damages lung tissue.
Some patients report long term-COVID symptoms affecting their breathing for months after recovering from an initial COVID-19 infection.
