Snail restricts SARS-CoV-2 entry by limiting ACE2 expression as part of broader remodelling of epithelial determinants of viral tropism

Prangya Paramita Sahoo, Vishal Sah, Krishnan Harinivas Harshan

This study identifies Snail as a host restriction factor that limits SARS-CoV-2 entry by reducing ACE2 expression through transcriptional regulation and translational suppression.
