SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Suppresses Host Pyroptosis by Blocking Gasdermin D Cleavage

0
Investigators showed that the nucleocapsid of SARS-CoV-2 inhibited host pyroptosis by blocking Gasdermin D cleavage. SARS-CoV-2-infected monocytes showed enhanced cellular interleukin 1b (IL-1b) expression, but reduced IL-1b secretion.
