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.
SARS-CoV-2 targeting of ACE2 receptors has caused damage to multiple organs in the body, contributing to several long COVID symptoms. Based on previous autopsy research, evidence suggests the virus can target ACE2…
