The effect on the respiratory system is a consequence of inflammation of the vascular tissue.
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, NEW YORK — Researchers from the University of California-San Diego, United States claim that Covid-19 is not a respiratory disease, as is widely accepted. They believe that infection corona virus The new type (SARS-CoV-2) is a blood vessel disease.
According to the researcher, it explains the occurrence of blood clotting in some Covid-19 patients and other problems such as ‘Covid toes’ (Covid feet) which are not a typical symptom of respiratory disease. The findings were published in the journal Circulation Research.
Their research shows how the virus attacks blood vessels or the circulatory system. Spike protein the virus, the spikes that make up the crown, attacks the ACE2 receptor, damages mitochondria that produce energy for cells, and damages the endothelium that lines blood vessels.
This is something that has been observed. However, the precise mechanism and role of protein S is not yet known.
“This protein is replicated by all currently available vaccines,” the team said Times Now News, Tuesday (31/8).
