Dual inhibition of TMPRSS2 and Cathepsin Bprevents SARS-CoV-2 infection in iPS cells
It has been reported that many receptors and proteases are required for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Although angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the most important of these receptors, little is known about the contribution of other genes. In this stu...
