    Interleukin-1 prevents SARS-CoV-2-induced membrane fusion to restrict viral transmission via induction of actin bundles

    Xu Zheng, Shi Yu ... Guangxun Meng
    Interleukin-1 activates RhoA/ROCK signaling, which drives the enrichment of actin bundles at the cell-cell junctions, preventing SARS-CoV-2 spreading via syncytia formation.
