A new study by CoEHAR, the “Role of Cigarette Smoke on Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme-2 Protein Membrane Expression in Bronchial Epithelial Cells Using an Air-Liquid Interface Model” investigates the molecular mechanisms that regulate the expression of the ACE2 enzyme, involved in Covid-19 infection.

Prof. Giovanni Li Volti, Director of CoEHAR and Project leader of Replica describes the study.
