TLDR
In this article , the authors established a human kidney organoid model promoting early hallmarks of diabetic kidney disease development and found that diabetic-like kidney organoids exhibited higher viral loads compared with their control counterparts.

Evidence in favor of the essentiality of human cell membrane-bound ACE2 and against soluble ACE2 for SARS-CoV-2 infectivity

TL;DR: Yeung et al. as discussed by the authors showed that ACE2 mediated cell entry of SARS-CoV-2 via interaction with proteins related to the renin-angiotensin system.

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 - at the Heart of the COVID-19 pandemic

TL;DR: ACE2 is the indispensable entry receptor for SARS and CoV-2 and has become one of the most therapeutically targeted human molecules in biomedicine as mentioned in this paper .

Renin‐Angiotensin System Inhibitors in Patients With COVID‐19: A Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials Led by the International Society of Hypertension

TL;DR: In this article , the authors performed a meta-analysis to assess the safety and efficacy of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi) in adults with COVID-19.

A pneumonia outbreak associated with a new coronavirus of probable bat origin

TL;DR: Identification and characterization of a new coronavirus (2019-nCoV), which caused an epidemic of acute respiratory syndrome in humans in Wuhan, China, and it is shown that this virus belongs to the species of SARSr-CoV, indicates that the virus is related to a bat coronav virus.

Comprehensive Integration of Single-Cell Data.

TL;DR: A strategy to "anchor" diverse datasets together, enabling us to integrate single-cell measurements not only across scRNA-seq technologies, but also across different modalities.

Cryo-EM structure of the 2019-nCoV spike in the prefusion conformation.

TL;DR: The authors show that this protein binds at least 10 times more tightly than the corresponding spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)–CoV to their common host cell receptor, and test several published SARS-CoV RBD-specific monoclonal antibodies found that they do not have appreciable binding to 2019-nCoV S, suggesting that antibody cross-reactivity may be limited between the two RBDs.

Structure, Function, and Antigenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein.

TL;DR: It is demonstrating that cross-neutralizing antibodies targeting conserved S epitopes can be elicited upon vaccination, and it is shown that SARS-CoV-2 S uses ACE2 to enter cells and that the receptor-binding domains of Sars- coV- 2 S and SARS S bind with similar affinities to human ACE2, correlating with the efficient spread of SATS among humans.
