ACE2 enhance viral infection or viral infection aggravate the underlying diseases
ACE2 plays a critical role in SARS-CoV-2 infection to cause COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binds to ACE2 and probably functionally inhibits ACE2 to aggravate the underlying diseases of COVID-19. The important factors that affect the severity and fatality of COVID-19 include patients' und...
