The team then tested how the enzyme ACE2 affects the development of the placenta, using gene-editing to create placental organoids with different versions of the ACE2 gene. "We wanted to ...

In past studies, different versions of the ACE2 gene have been tied to pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia, which ...

They found that those who became infected had higher levels of gene expression for two key proteins - ACE2 and TMPRSS2. ACE2 allows the virus to enter nasal cells, while TMPRSS2 helps activate the ...

While there has been much discussion of viral infection in gut and lung cells, researchers have dug into massive gene expression datasets to show that other potential target cells also producing ACE2 ...

Now, in an article published in Hypertension Research, researchers at Penn's School of Dental Medicine and Perelman School of Medicine have investigated the benefits of adding oral ACE2 ...
