US and Belgian scientists explain why COVID-19 patients lose their sense of smell loss of smell in COVID-19. The researchers were unable to find evidence that the infection affects the sensory neurons of the olfactory epithelium or the nerve cells of the olfactory bulb. Thus, coronavirus is not a neurotropic virus, however SARS-CoV-2 infects a different type of cells in the olfactory organs. This is reported in an article published in the journal Cell. When a cell is infected, SARS-CoV-2 binds to the ACE2 receptor on the cell membrane. This receptor is expressed on the surface of the sustentacular cells, but not on the olfactory sensory neurons, which transmit odor signals to the olfactory bulb. Sustentacular cells provide neurons with nutrients and maintain their structure. Both types of cells are continuously regenerated from stem cells of the olfactory epithelium throughout a person's life. Researchers analyzed samples of the olfactory nasal

The station will also insulate the lobbies and install additional double-glazed windows on the walls. The developers decided to place the equipment on the roof of the complex and used building information modeling (BIM) technologies to locate branched engineering systems. The Novomoskovskaya station is being built in the Sosenskoye settlement along the Solntsevo – Butovo – Varshavskoye highway. The builders are completing the construction of excavations and installing the structure of the station complex. In September 2021, Andrei Bochkarev said
