Abstract

The SENOCOVID project coordinated by François Trottein (Institut Pasteur / Lille) focuses on pulmonary cell senescence as a target for controlling Covid-19. It will focus on quantifying the accumulation of senescent cells during SARS-CoV-2 infection, determining the nature of senescent cells and the molecular signatures of this senescence and analyzing the impact of a pre-existing senescence and / or induced on viral replication and pulmonary lesions, using two complementary experimental models.
