Open AccessSARS-CoV-2 N protein enhances the anti-apoptotic activity of MCL-1 to promote viral replication
Viral infection in respiratory tract usually leads to cell death, impairing respiratory function to cause severe disease. However, the diversity of clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection increases the...
