SARS-CoV-2 infects lung epithelial cells and induces senescence and an inflammatory response in patients with severe COVID-19
2021-01-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Rationale</h4> SARS-CoV-2 infection of the respiratory system can progress to a life threatening multi-systemic disease, mediated via an excess of cytokines (“cytokine storm”), but the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. <h4>Objectives</h4> To investigate whether SARS-CoV-2 may induce cellular senescence in lung epithelial cells, leading to secretion of inflammatory cytokines, known as the senescence...
