SARS-CoV-2 virus does not infect blood vessels

Vascular disease in COVID-19 is not caused by viral infection of blood vessels

Published on: 27 October 2021

The SARS-CoV-2 virus does not infect blood vessels, despite the high risk of blood clots, IMB researchers have confirmed.

Dynamic control of vascular growth and function

We aim to discover what causes vessels to grow abnormally and leak in diseases such as diabetes, cancer and atherosclerosis

Vascular disease in COVID-19 is not caused by viral infection of blood vessels

Dynamic control of vascular growth and function

How is blood vessel integrity controlled across specific vessel types?

How does the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 cause vascular dysfunction?

How does the mechanical environment surrounding vessels influence disease progression?

How does intracellular trafficking guide cell movement and vessel growth?

What are the mechanisms leading to pathological vascular growth and leakage in eye disease?
