Popis: Williams et al. confirm that human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes express the protein machinery critical for SARS-CoV-2 infection and are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein pseudotyped virus infection. They further use this platform as a screen to identify inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 infection, reporting benztropine (targeting B0AT1/ACE2 complex) and DX600 (targeting ACE2) as potential inhibitors.
