Abstract

Here, Farley et al. perform untargeted lipidomics to assess how SARS-CoV-2 rewires host lipid metabolism. SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins specifically induce lipid droplet formation and dramatically change lipid metabolism to support infection; interfering with lipid metabolism using small molecule inhibitors decreases virus production.
