Pulmonary Hypertension, Heart Disease and Stroke from SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Cell Signaling

The Spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 is commonly known to binds to the ACE2 receptor. After binding, the virus enters the cells,  replicates, and COVID-19 disease occurs. But the Spike protein-ACE2 interaction is not just physical. Biochemical events like cell signaling also happen. Cell signaling is the ability of cells to talk with one another….
