Sars-Cov2 Spike and Telomerase RNA’s Compared to Arrive at an Explanation for Increased Ageing in Alveolar Cells in Severe COVID-19

Han Geurdes

In this letter we investigate if SARS-CoV-2 RNA is involved in the increased ageing of alveolar cells. Our in silico study is explorative. With the results we are able to outline experiments with AEC2 repair of bleomycin damaged alveolar cells. If AEC2 repair capability is diminished by spike RNA then perhaps this result provides a first step on a route to treat immortal lung cancer cells.
