    SARS-CoV-2 Infects an In Vitro Model of the Human Developing Pancreas through Endocytosis

    Using human fetal pancreas samples and 3D differentiation of human pluripotent cells into pancreatic endocrine cells, the authors determined that SARS-CoV-2 receptors were expressed in precursors of insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells, rendering them permissive to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
