Is Covid-19 Severity Associated With ACE2 Degradation?

2022-01-25

Abstract excerpt

Covid-19 is particularly mild with children, and its severity escalates with age. Several theories have been proposed to explain these facts. In particular, it was proposed that the lower expression of the viral receptor ACE2 in children protects them from severe Covid-19. However, other works suggested an inverse relationship between ACE2 expression and disease severity. Here we review the seemingly contradicting...
