Review of using saliva for COVID-19 testing
Saliva is a hypotonic solution of gingival, salivary acini, and exudate sulcus fluid from the oral mucosa. Saliva contains proteins, DNA, RNA, micro-RNA, and metabolites; hence, it can be detected early in viruses, bacteria, as well as systemic diseases.

Focused ACE2 CRISPR screen of HuH7 ACE2-enriched cells.
MAGeCK output for gene-level and individual gRNA-level enrichment or depletion in ACE2-high cells relative to ACE2-negative cells. Negative log2-fold change and RRA scores indicate gRNA depletion in ACE2-high cells (gene disruption associated with ...

Transcription of Ace2 regulated genes in differential ace2 expressing mutants
Cell division in Schizosaccharomyces pombe is influenced by ace2 and its associated genes, including the target genes, eng1 and agn1. Since it has a cell cycle typical to most eukaryotes, Sch.

Angiotensin Converting Enzymes (ACEs) are carboxypeptidase enzymes involved in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which catalyze angiotensin I by cleavage of the peptide bond. ACE1 has been known as a target for antihypertensive drugs.

Ursodeoxycholic Acid Reduces Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 Activity and Suppresses Cytokine Storm Syndrome in Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019. [PDF]
SARS‐CoV‐2 infection causes COVID‐19 and stimulates immune cells, such as dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages, to increase levels of many cytokines. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) inhibits farnesoid X receptor (FXR), resulting in a decrease in the activity of angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the main receptor on the membrane for SARS‐CoV‐2.

Pharmacologic modulation of ACE2 expression [PDF]
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is an enzymatically active homologue of angiotensin-converting enzyme that degrades angiotensin I, angiotensin II, and other peptides. Recent studies have shown that under pathologic conditions, ACE2 expression in the kidney is altered. In this review, we briefly summarize recent studies dealing with pharmacologic

Covalent Bonding Aptamer with Enhanced SARS-CoV-2 RBD-ACE2 Blocking and Pseudovirus Neutralization Activities [PDF]
SARS-CoV-2 uses its spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD) to interact with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor on host cells. Inhibitors of the RBD-ACE2 interaction are therefore promising drug candidates in treating COVID-19. Here,
