ACE2 and COVID-19: Here, employing our previously published simplified suspension culture method to obtain large numbers of islet cells/spheroids for transplantation (5), we newly generated two human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived spheroid lines, termed Spheroids_4MACE2-TMPRSS2 and Spheroids_15M63ACE2-TMPRSS2, both of which express angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2), which are critical for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
