Alveolar Macrophages: Achilles’ Heel of SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Investigators propose that alveolar macrophages (AMs) are the Achilles’ heel of SARS-CoV-2 infection and that modulation of the endosomal pH of AMs has the potential to eliminate invaded SARS-CoV-2; the same strategy might also be suitable for other lethal respiratory viruses.
