SARS-CoV-2 infects human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, impairing electrical and mechanical function

TL;DR: Examining the cardiac tropism of SARS-CoV-2 using human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) and three-dimensional engineered heart tissues finds that COVID-19-related cardiac symptoms likely result from a direct cardiotoxic effect of Sars-Cov-2.

Evidence For and Against Direct Kidney Infection by SARS-CoV-2 in Patients with COVID-19.

TL;DR: A review of studies to date shows that SARS-CoV-2 in the kidney of patients with COVID-19 was detected in 18 of 94 (19%) by immuno-histochemistry, 71 of 144 (49%) by RT-PCR and 11 of 84 (13%) by in situ hybridization.

Endothelial cell infection and dysfunction, immune activation in severe COVID-19.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that SARS-CoV-2-infected K18-hACE2 (K18) mice develop severe COVID-19, including progressive body weight loss and fatality at 7 days, severe lung interstitial inflammation, edema, hemorrhage, perivascular inflammation, systemic lymphocytopenia, and eosinopenia.

Pulmonary pathology of COVID-19: a review of autopsy studies.

TL;DR: The heterogeneity of fatal cases - persistence of viral infection in lung, clearance of virus but severe lung injury, thrombosis, and exaggerated immune response - suggest that antiviral, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and supportive therapy play a role in treatment, but that the patientspecific cause and timing of the lung injury is important in choosing intervention as discussed by the authors.
