SKIN AS A POTENTIAL ENTRY POINT FOR SARS-COV-2

2026-04-08

Abstract excerpt

The primary route of SARS-CoV-2 entry is via respiratory epithelium. However, many COVID-19 patients developed dermatological lesions, and SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been detected in the patients’ skin. Inflammatory skin diseases, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD), significantly increased the risk of COVID-19. To evaluate the potential role of skin in SARS-CoV-2 host interactions, we utilized 3D human skin organoids (H...
