"The cells in the bone marrow known as human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSC) highly express ACE2 and TMPRSS2, making them susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 during the initial infection.. SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been detected in the bone marrow of post-mortem samples.. PBMC

Important paper: Bird flu H5N1 may be closer to spreading between people than we previously realized. It's able to enter cells from human upper airways, and it transmitted between ferrets, albeit inefficiently. nature.com/articles/s4158…
