The speaker in this one-hour, two-minute presentation discusses an international integrated analysis of the Human Cell Atlas Lung Biological Network, which identified the cell types throughout the body most likely to be susceptible to viral entry, including COVID-19. In line with epidemiological observations, it also identified increased expression of key mediators of SARS-CoV-2 cellular entry associated with increasing age, male gender, and smoking.
