Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the viral cause of the COVID-19 global pandemic and was initially observed to act primarily on the respiratory tract. However, a growing body of evidence now suggests that SARS-CoV-2 affects multiple organ systems throughout the body (e.g. kidney, heart, liver, and brain, among others) and while endothelial inflammation and vasculopathy are common hallmarks within these affected organs, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remain incompletely defined.
