Imaging Mass Cytometry Study Reveals Immune Processes Involved in Severe COVID-19
The study's finding suggest that over-stimulation of the complement pathway along with non-specific targeting of lung tissue contribute to death from the virus.
Over the next year or so, the investigators plan to sequence the genomes of 3,000 patients with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or neurological disorders.
