Human ACE2 transgenic pigs are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and develop COVID-19-like disease - Nature Communications Long Fung Chau and colleagues report the generation of transgenic pigs expressing human ACE2, and show that they exhibit clinical signs and immunopathology consistent with COVID-19 following...
