NF-κB inhibitor alpha has a cross-variant role during SARS-CoV-2 infection in ACE2-overexpressing human airway organoids

C. R. Simoneau, P.-Y. Chen, G. X. Xing, M. M. Khalid, N. L. Meyers, J. M. Hayashi, T. Y. Taha, K. E. Leon, T. Ashuach, K. A. Fontaine, L. Rodriguez, B. Joehnk, K. Walcott, S. Vasudevan, X. Fang, , M. Ott

The paper uses ACE2-overexpressing airway organoids to show NF-κB inhibitor alpha is upregulated during SARS-CoV-2 infection and its reduced function increases viral infection.
