High expression of ACE2 receptors in developing ovaries increases SARS-CoV-2 risk – News-Medical.Net
A team of scientists from China collaborated to find if SARS-CoV-2 could also infect the ovary at different developmental stages.
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) invades host cells through ACE2 receptors found on the surface of human cells. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors are abundant and found in several body areas, including the nose, kidneys, heart, and lungs.
