US scientists link mitochondrial DNA levels with severity of COVID-19

US scientists link mitochondrial DNA levels with severity of COVID-19 21 January 2021 | News Mitochondrial DNA levels were much higher in patients who eventually were admitted to the ICU, intubated or died Source: Shutterstock Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis have shown that a relatively simple and rapid blood test can predict within a day of a hospital admission which patients with COVID-19 are at highest risk of severe complications or death. The study, published Jan 14 in JCI Insight, involved nearly 100 patients newly admitted to the hospital with COVID-19. The blood test measures levels of mitochondrial DNA, a unique type of DNA molecule that normally resides inside the energy factories of cells.

People with problems in the upper GI tract may be vulnerable to COVID-19 infection

People with problems in the upper GI tract may be vulnerable to COVID-19 infection No evidence so far indicates that food or drinks can transmit the virus that causes COVID-19, but new research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that people with problems in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract may be vulnerable to infection after swallowing the virus. Studying tissue from patients with a common disorder called Barrett s esophagus, the researchers found that although cells in a healthy esophagus cannot bind to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, esophageal cells from patients with Barrett s have receptors for the virus, and those cells can bind to and become infected by the virus that causes COVID-19.
