Markers of cellular senescence is associated with persistent pulmonary pathology after COVID-19 infection

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The lungs are the organ most likely to sustain serious injury from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the mechanisms for long-term complications are not clear. Patients with severe COVID-19 have shorter telomere lengths and higher levels of cellular senescence, and we hypothesized that circulating levels of the telomere-associated senescence markers chitotriosidase, β-galactosidase,...
