Single-cell RNA expression profiling of ACE2, the putative receptor of Wuhan 2019-nCov

resumen: el virus utiliza un receptor celular que es más frecuente en hombres asiáticos..


ahora queda por explicar los 3 alemanes contagiados por estar cerca de un alemán que estuvo cerca de una chinita..

Single-cell RNA expression profiling of ACE2, the putative receptor of Wuhan 2019-nCov

>The result indicates that the ACE2 virus receptor expression is concentrated in a small population of type II alveolar cells (AT2). Surprisingly, we found that this population of ACE2-expressing AT2 also highly expressed many other genes that positively regulating viral reproduction and transmission. A comparison between eight individual samples demonstrated that the Asian male one has an extremely large number of ACE2-expressing cells in the lung.
