Bothcell typescan differentiate into lungepithelial cells, which cover the inner surfaces of the lungs where air exchange occurs. In so doing, they can repair lung damage caused by SARS-CoV-2, including fibrosis. The first step towards activating these regenerative cells is to prime the tissue ...
COVID-19 patients can suffer long-term lung and heart damage but, for many, this tends to improve over time, according to the first, prospective follow-up of patients infected with the coronavirus, presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress. Researchers in the COVID-19 ...
A third of long COVID patients sustained damage to multiple organs five months after infection, a study has found. Scans of patients who were treated in hospital forCOVID-19showed higher rates of damage to the lungs, brain and kidneys compared with the non-COVID control group. Lung in...

POST-acute COVID-19 syndromeCOVID-19PULMONARY function testsSYNDROMESLUNGSThe prevalence and duration of the long-term respiratory complications of COVID-19 infection remains to be elucidated. This short commentary reports on recently published studies in patients post-acute COVID-19 infection in ...
Pneumonia as the result of lung infections can cause long-standing damage to the tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs, resulting in scar tissue or fibrosis that substantially impair lung functions and lead to long-term breathing problems and other related conditions. However, the severity and ...
The cardiovascular complications of acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are well described, but the post-acute cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 have not yet been comprehensively characterized. Here we used national healthcare databases from the US Department of Veterans Affairs to build...
COVID-19 can involve persistence, sequelae, and other medical complications that last weeks to months after initial recovery. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to identify studies assessing the long-term effects of COVID-19. LitCOVID and Embase were searched to identify articles with ...
After infection with SARS-CoV-2, where does the immune system store the memory to provide long-term protection against reinfection? Though numerous studies have examined blood to track immune responses to SARS-CoV-2, a new study of COVID survivors shows that thememoryof the infection is primari...
The neurologic manifestations of acute COVID-19 are well characterized, but a comprehensive evaluation of postacute neurologic sequelae at 1 year has not been undertaken. Here we use the national healthcare databases of the US Department of Veterans Affa
