We hypothesized that ACE2 could play a pivotal role in the central regulation of cardiovascular function by regulating other renin - angiotensin system components," scientists in the United States report.
"To test this hypothesis, we generated an adenovirus expressing the human ACE2 cDNA upstream of an enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) reporter gene (Ad-hACE2-eGFP). In vitro characterization shows...
