SARS‐CoV‐2 Productively Infects Human Hepatocytes and Induces Cell Death
1 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 infection is accompanied by elevated liver enzymes, and patients with pre-existing liver conditions experience more severe disease. While it was known that SARS-CoV-2 infects human hepatocytes, our study determines the mechanism of infection, demonstrates viral replication and spread, and highlights direct hepatocyte damage. Viral replication was readily detectable upon infection of primary human...
