The now-familiar SARS-CoV-2 virus, with the spike protein on the outside that allows the virus to infect host cells. New research is presenting evidence that recovery from a Covid-19 infection depends not just on antibodies targeting the spike protein and other surface proteins but also on antibodies that target the virus’s internal proteins.

An image of a colon organoid captured by a new system developed in Shu Jia’s lab that can capture dynamic, 3D information about the lab-grown cultures of tissues in a single image. The raw image was captured in 0.1 seconds. The coloration represents depths of 60 and -60 micrometers from the focal plan to depict the organoid in three dimensions.
