The hypothesized [[mechanism of action]] by which zinc reduces the severity and/or duration of cold symptoms is the suppression of nasal [[inflammation]] and the direct inhibition of [[Rhinovirus#Pathogenesis|rhinoviral receptor binding]] and rhinoviral [[Viral replication|replication]] in the [[nasal mucosa]]. Zinc has been known for many years to have an effect on cold viruses in the laboratory. In the [[arteriviridae]] and [[coronaviridae]] families of virus that also cause the common cold, [[in vitro]] studies found that zinc [[ionophore]]s block the replication of those viruses in cell culture.</div>FuzzyBot
