'Long COVID' affects nearly one in five adults who have had coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), yet the mechanisms underlying this disorder remain poorly understood. In a new study, Cheong et al. show that the epigenetic and transcriptional state of myeloid immune cells and their progenitors are durably altered in patients following severe COVID-19.
“长新冠”影响了近五分之一曾感染 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的成年人,但这种疾病的发病机制仍知之甚少。在一项新的研究中,Cheong 等人表明,在 COVID-19 重症患者中,髓样免疫细胞及其前体细胞的表观遗传和转录状态发生了持久改变。
