Abstract:COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, is associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular complications like acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, and stroke, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of gene expression in the immune response. RNA-seq of whole blood from hospitalized patients with COVID-19, influenza A virus and matched controls identified 190 lncRNAs deregulated in both viral infections. Among the top m… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
