ACE2‐rich cells‐targeted fluorescence imaging using newly discovered peptides from SARS‐CoV‐2 epitopes and neutralizing antibodies

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
A targeting peptide for ACE2‐overexpressing cells was identified and labeled with rhodamine. Fluorescence imaging demonstrated selective peptide binding to ACE2‐rich cells both in vitro and in vivo. Notably, the peptide accumulated in glioblastoma tissues in a mouse model, suggesting its potential for brain tumor targeting.

Differential renal effects of candesartan at high-and ultra-high doses in diabetic mice: potential role of  ACE2/AT2R/Mas [PDF]

, 2016
High doses of Ang II receptor (AT1R) blockers (ARBs) are renoprotective in diabetes. Underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We evaluated whether high/ultra-high doses of candesartan (ARB) up-regulate angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/Ang II type 2 ...
