Protein OCLN found to play crucial role in SARS-CoV-2 cell-to-cell transmission

Research explains how the SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads efficiently by directly infecting neighboring cells through a process called cell-to-cell transmission. The virus uses a protein called occludin (OCLN) to enter the cells and causes syncytium formation, which leads to viral spread.
