The aging transcriptome and cellular landscape of the human lung in relation to SARS-CoV-2

Age is one of the strongest risk factors for severe illness from COVID-19. By integrating human lung transcriptomes with experimental data on SARS-CoV-2, the authors pinpoint specific age-associated factors that could contribute to the heightened severity of COVID-19 in older populations.
