Spatial map of the lung reveals cellular mechanisms driving damage and fibrosis in severe COVID-19

A lung affected by deadly forms of COVID-19 not lone loses indispensable cells for breathing but besides undergoes profound changes successful its interior enactment and the mode its cells pass with each other. A survey involving the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau), published successful Nature Communications, has created a spatial representation of this translation and identified immoderate of the molecular mechanisms that travel the progression of lung harm and fibrosis.
