Deskripsi

Neufeldt et al. evaluate transcriptional and cytokine secretion profiles of cells and patient sera following SARS-CoV-2 infection and detect distinct upregulation of inflammatory cytokines. They also demonstrate that this upregulation is mediated by cGAS-STING and NF-κB signalling, which could provide a potential avenue for the development of future therapies against SARS-CoV-2.
