SARS-CoV-2 impact on ACE2 expression in NSCLC: mRNA and protein insights COVID-19 associated (ACE2) expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a pervasive and challenging global health concern. This research delves into the intricate relationship between NSCLC and ACE2 expression, exploring the potential impact of COVID-19 history on this interaction. Tissue samples were meticulously gathered from a cohort of 32 NSCLC patients, 18 of whom had a documented history of COVID-19 infection.
