A new study has found that coronavirus transforms the infected cells in a highly unusual manner. It forces them to grow long, protruding branches, spaghetti-like tentacles that can easily penetrate nearby multiple healthy cells at once. The long strings poke holes in other cells & virus passes through it from cell to cell. Scientists looked closely via a powerful microscope at the NIH, US& University of Freiburg in Germany.
