The atlas of ACE2 expression in fetal and adult human hearts reveals the potential mechanism of heart-injured patients infected with SARS-CoV-2
9 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
Numerous studies have shown that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can infect host cells through binding to angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expressing in various tissues and organs. In this study, we deeply analyzed the single-cell expression profiles of ACE2 in fetal and adult human hearts to explore the potential mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 harming the heart. The molecular...
