Ralph Baric was excellent! Would u do in-depth show on human viral entry receptors
#ACE2
and
#NPC1
. If
#2019
-nCov is related to
#SARS
&
#bats
apparently SARS entry begins after “colocalization” with NPC1. What is relationship between ACE2 and NPC1

My identical twins with Niemann Pick recently died minutes apart after developing ParaInfluenza Type 3 and they developed ARDS. Their cells are immune to Ebola and yet they die from ParaInfluenza Type 3? There are major clues here for virus researchers like you.
@profvrr
Excellent.
I have read the two Lancet papers cited as well.
What are leveraged ways an educated layperson can get up to speed learning more about the Ace2 receptors?
Have other podcasts covered that receptor in depth?
Thanks, Matt
