Dopamine Reduces SARS-CoV-2 Replication In Vitro through Downregulation of D2 Receptors and Upregulation of Type-I Interferons

Recent evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 hinders immune responses via dopamine (DA)-related mechanisms.Nonetheless, studies addressing the specific role of DA in the frame of SARS-CoV-2 infection are still missing.In the present study, we investigate the role of DA in SARS-CoV-2 replication along with potential links with innate immune pathways in
