Aging-related cell type-specific pathophysiologic immune responses that exacerbate disease severity in aged COVID-19 patients
2021-09-16
Abstract excerpt
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is especially severe in aged patients, defined as 65 years or older, for reasons that are currently unknown. To investigate the underlying basis for this vulnerability, we performed multimodal data analyses on immunity, inflammation, and COVID-19 incidence and severity as a function of age. Our analysis leveraged age-specific COVID-19 mortality and laboratory testing from a larg...
