Early embryos show greater sensitivity and vulnerability to COVID-19.
If the particles of the coronavirus have entered the woman's body, and then into her womb, the embryos may suffer, because they remain very susceptible to the attacks of the virus.
These conclusions were reached by both American and British biologists who conducted research at the Gladstone Institute in San Francisco under the guidance of the famous scientist Mauricio Montano. The results of the latest research published in the electronic library bioRxiv.
According to scientists, early embryos are no longer protected by a special glycoprotein membrane, which surrounds unfertilized cells, and its own immunity, and the placenta, is not yet formed.
The data should be used primarily to create a new in vitro fertilization protocol during the coronavirus pandemic.Embryonic cells are devoid of protection, and on their surface are ACE2 receptors, which are necessary for the spread of the virus. Infection of the embryo is almost inevitable if a woman has a virus in her body.
