A year on from discovering COVID-19 we are starting to understand why some people suffer more severely after infection. Sadya Arnett discusses recent research into the interconnection between host inflammation and SARS-CoV-2.
Opaganib reduced blood clot length and weight in a pre-clinical model of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
Scientists have created a prognostic classification model which uses biomarkers to help predict an individual’s risk of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms.
Scientists shows targeting cholesterol or phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) could be a promising strategy to combat multiple coronaviruses.
Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital have studied several thousand circulating proteins within the plasma proteome of symptomatic COVID-19 patients and acutely ill non-COVID-19 controls. Nikki Withers discussed their findings and implications of the study with one of the lead authors, Dr Mike Filbin.
A new analysis reveals that the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the immune response it provokes is completely different in adults and children.
According to a new study, blood clots in patients with severe COVID-19 are caused by an autoimmune antibody that circulates in the blood and attacks cells.
An analysis reveals that in comparison to other inflammatory diseases such as cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) and sepsis, the levels of cytokines in severely ill COVID-19 patients is low.
Breaking down or slowing the production of a hyaluronan jelly which builds up in the lungs of some severe COVID-19 patients could reduce respiratory distress and prevent death.
Scientists found in a murine model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that cannabidiol (CBD) helped the lungs recover from excessive inflammation caused by COVID-19.
A study has revealed 68 protein-coding genes associated with risk of severe COVID-19, nine of which are targeted by drugs currently in clinical trials.
Researchers have suggested that neutrophils, which contribute to the development of ARDS in COVID-19 patients, could be diverted from the lungs by rod-shaped particles in a new form of treatment.
An international consortium suggest that the severe symptoms of COVID-19, including Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), could be caused by Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs).
Scientists have pinpointed a chemical signal that worsens inflammation linked to a life-threatening lung condition. The discovery could eventually lead to new therapies for this disease, which can be fatal for up to half of those affected.
