Not only ACE2—the quest for additional host cell mediators of SARS-CoV-2 infection: Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) as a novel SARS-CoV-2 host cell entry mediator implicated in COVID-19

Abstract excerpt

Two recently published studies published in Science by Daly et al. 1 and Cantuti-Castelvetri et al. 2 identified neuropilin-1 (NRP1) as an additional cellular mediator which may facilitate the entry of the new severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-coronavirus (CoV)-2 (SARS-CoV-2) into host cells. The findings of these elegant studies collectively indicate that, in addition to the role of angiotensin-converting...
