SARS-CoV-2 Infectivity and Neurological Targets in the Brain.

Cellular and molecular neurobiology - 1 Jan 2022

Lukiw Walter J, Pogue Aileen, Hill James M

Abstract excerpt

The gateway for invasion by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) into human host cells is via the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) transmembrane receptor expressed in multiple immune and nonimmune cell types. SARS-CoV-2, that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; CoV-19) has the unusual capacity to attack many different types of human host cells simultaneously via...
