COVID-19 Can Infect, Replicate in Salivary Gland Cells, Says Study
Publicado em 07 julho 2021
Sao Paulo, July 7: Brazilian researchers have found that tissues which specialise in saliva production and secretion can serve as reservoirs for SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, magnifying its infectious potential.
Researchers at the University of Sao Paulo (USP) analysed samples from three types of salivary gland obtained during a minimally invasive autopsy procedure performed on 24 patients who died from complications of COVID-19 and discovered that SARS-CoV-2 infects and replicates [...]
