Akt-Fas to Quell Aberrant T Cell Differentiation and Apoptosis in Covid-19
21 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
Aberrant T cell differentiation and lymphopenia are hallmarks of severe COVID-19 disease. Since T cells must race to cull infected cells, they are quick to differentiate and achieve cytotoxic function. With this responsiveness, comes hastened apoptosis, due to a coupled mechanism of death and differentiation in both CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytesviaCD95 (Fas) and serine-threonine kinase (Akt). T cell lymphopenia in...
