Fluvastatin mitigates SARS-CoV-2 infection in human lung cells

Summary: Clinical data of patients suffering from COVID-19 indicates that statin therapy, used to treat hypercholesterolemia, is associated with a better disease outcome. Whether statins directly affect virus replication or influence the clinical outcome through modulation of immune responses is unk...
