COVID-19 and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) are linked by angiotensin-converting
enzyme 2 (ACE2), a key enzyme in RAS that has been validated as a SARS-CoV-2 receptor …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of COVID-19, is
reported to increase the rate of mortality worldwide. COVID-19 is associated with acute …

COVID-19 pandemic is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Angiotensin-

The factors mediating fatal SARS-CoV-2 infections are poorly understood. Here, we show
that cigarette smoke causes a dose-dependent upregulation of angiotensin converting …

Background and objective COVID‐19 is complicated by acute lung injury, and death in some
individuals. It is caused by SARS‐CoV‐2 that requires the ACE2 receptor and serine …

Macrophages are key cellular contributors to the pathogenesis of COVID-19, the disease
caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. The SARS-CoV-2 entry receptor ACE2 is present only on …

This article reviews the correlation between ACE2 and COVID-19 and the resulting acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ACE2 is a crucial component of the renin-angiotensin …

The explosion of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has brought the role of the
angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) back into the scientific limelight. Since SARS-CoV …
