that individual SARS-CoV-2 proteins can cause significant damage to specific
tissues of the body, similar to findings for other viruses such as HIV and Zika
virus,” said Dr. Zhe Han, senior author, professor of medicine, and
director of the Center for Precision Disease Modeling at the University of
Michigan Medical School. "By identifying these damage processes in each
tissue, we can test drugs to see if any drugs can reverse this damage; those
drugs that show promise can be further tested in clinical research studies.”
Last year, Dr. Han and his team discoveredthe most toxic SARS-CoV-2 protein in studies using Drosophila and human cells.
They found that selinexor, a promising drug, reduced the toxicity of one of
these proteins, but not of another protein called Nsp6.
