There is more to #SARS2 than meets the eye:

1-Coronavirus not only infects the human retina, but can also replicate in it!

2-The so-called ‘long-Covid’ symptoms may include degenerative retinal disease. 1/ Image
Which cells in the retinal organoids are affected?

The researchers analyzed the organoids under a fluorescence microscope. 2/
With the help of different immune markers for the different cell types of the retina & with a #fluorescent antibody against the #nucleoprotein (N-protein) of #SARS2, it was shown that mainly two cell layers of the retinal organoids were infected. 3/ Image
