Human lungs show limited permissiveness for SARS-CoV-2 due to scarce ACE2 levels but virus-induced expansion of inflammatory macrophages
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Scarce ACE2 expression limits alveolar SARS-CoV-2 permissiveness and related tissue damage. Instead, non-productive virus uptake by alveolar macrophages leads to a specific pulmonary immune activation. COVID-19 ARDS is most likely caused by immunopathogenesis rather than alveolar viral damage.
