‘Molecular Signature’ In Blood May Indicate Coronavirus Disease Severity
Researchers at the Morgridge Institute for Research, Albany Medical Center, and UW–Madison assembled a profile of biological molecules that correlated not only with COVID-19 infection, but with disease severity. More target molecules will likely be found as others analyze the data, which is freely available online.
