Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 Entry Genes in Skeletal Muscle and Impacts of Inย Vitro Versus Inย Vivo Infection.
COVID-19 has been associated with both respiratory (diaphragm) and non-respiratory (limb) muscle atrophy. It is unclear if SARS-CoV-2 infection of skeletal muscle plays a role in these changes. This study sought to: 1) determine if cells comprising skeletal muscle tissue,...
