Identifying Prognostic Biomarkers in COVID-19

COVID-19 patients exhibit a wide variety of symptoms, making it difficult to predict their disease progression. However, by understanding the disease’s immune biomarkers, effective treatments can be identified and administered at early disease stages. Using a functional proteomics platform, researchers analyzed the complete immune landscape of COVID-19 patients. They identified rare subsets of immune cells and characterized cytokines driving the immune response, revealing novel biomarkers that improved their understanding of SARS-CoV-2 infection for identifying and developing effective therapeutics for early intervention.
