In an international collaboration, scientists have discovered a new COVID-related syndrome, MDA5-autoimmunity and Interstitial Pneumonitis Contemporaneous with COVID-19 (MIP-C). This syndrome, characterized by severe lung scarring and high mortality, was identified using a computational tool, BoNE, which highlighted the role of interleukin-15 in the disease’s progression. The syndrome appears to be a global issue, prompting further research into potential treatments. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ...
