How sex differences may influence lung injury AT2 cells, a type of lung cell that produces surfactant and give rise to gas-exchanging cells, can be infected by SARS-CoV-2. Research by Penn Vet scientists showed that differences in gene expression between male and female AT2 cells may help explain why older males have more severe outcomes from COVID-19 and similar diseases.
