Popis: Understanding how SARS-CoV-2 gains initial entry into the human body is a key step towards the development of prophylaxes and therapeutics for COVID-19. Here, the authors show that ACE2, the receptor for SARS-CoV-2, is abundantly expressed in the motile cilia of the human nasal and respiratory tract and is not affected by the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers.
