Does the human placenta express the canonical cell entry mediators for SARS-CoV-2?

Roger Piqué-Regi, Roberto J. Romero, Adi Laurentiu Tarca, Francesca Luca, Yi Xu, Adnan Alazizi, Yaozhu Leng, Chaur‐Dong Hsu, Nardhy Gomez‐Lopez

The paper investigates ACE2 and TMPRSS2 expression in human placenta across pregnancy stages and finds negligible co-expression, suggesting SARS-CoV-2 is unlikely to infect placenta via canonical entry mediators.
