New Technique Provides Detailed Map of Lung Pathology in COVID-19. Disease progression may not depend on the persistence of the virus, but on an overreaction of the immune system.
A team led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian has used advanced technology and analytics to map, at single-cell resolution, the cellular landscape of diseased lung tissue in severe COVID-19 and other infectious lung diseases. In the study, published online March 29 in Nature, the researchers imaged autopsied lung tissue in a way that
