Age-dependent regulation of SARS-CoV-2 cell entry genes and cell death programs correlates with COVID-19 severity
18 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity is highly variable, with pediatric patients typically experiencing less severe infection than adults and especially the elderly. The basis for this difference is unclear. We find that mRNA and protein expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the cell entry receptor for the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes...
