Incomplete repair of the damaged lung may contribute to death from COVID-19 and non-COVID ARDS

Investigators studying lung cells have discovered that the normal repair process that occurs after lung disease or injury appears to be incomplete but still ongoing in patients who died of COVID-19 and non-COVID acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Older woman's estrogen levels may be linked to risk of COVID-19 death

An older woman's estrogen levels may be linked to her chances of dying from COVID-19, with higher levels of the hormone seemingly protective against severe infection, suggests research published in the open access journal BMJ Open.

Study investigates whether SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with increased risk of incident type 1 diabetes

A recent study has demonstrated that although the incidence of type 1 diabetes increases among children during the COVID-19 pandemic, previous infection by SARS-CoV-2 does not directly act as a causal factor.
