miR-98 Regulates TMPRSS2 Expression in Human Endothelial Cells: Key Implications for COVID-19

The two main co-factors needed by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to enter human cells are angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2).
