The ACE2 Receptor for COVID-19 Entry Is Expressed on the Surface of Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cells and Endothelial Progenitors As Well As Their Precursor Cells and Becomes Activated in Nlrp3 Inflammasome-Dependent Manner By Virus Spike Protein - a Potential Pathway Leading to a “Cytokine Storm”

Background. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, with its high mortality, has become an urgent clinical problem. It is well established that SARS-CoV-2 enters human cells after binding to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor and utilizes a spike protein (S) for attachment and entry into the cells...
