Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The immune response in COVID-19 is characterized by the release of alarmin cytokines, which play crucial roles in immune activation and inflammation. The interplay between these cytokines and genetic variations may influence disease severity and outcomes, while sex differences might further contribute to variations in the immune response. METHODS: We measured the levels of alarmin cytokines in a...
