Targeting androgen regulation of TMPRSS2 and ACE2 as a therapeutic strategy to combat COVID-19

Epidemiological data showing increased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in men suggests a potential role for androgen in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here, we present evidence for the transcriptional regulation of SARS-CoV-2 host cell receptor ACE2 and TMPRSS2 by androgen in mouse and human cells. Additi...
