A diabetic <i>milieu</i> increases cellular susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infections in engineered human kidney organoids and diabetic patients
2021-08-13
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> SARS-CoV-2 infections lead to a high risk of hospitalization and mortality in diabetic patients. Why diabetic individuals are more prone to develop severe COVID-19 remains unclear. Here, we established a novel human kidney organoid model that mimics early hallmarks of diabetic nephropathy. High oscillatory glucose exposure resulted in metabolic changes, expansion of extracellular membrane compone...
