Covid, why asthma patients are not severe, it is known, opened the way to alternative therapies
The research paper is published in the international scientific research journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The primary symptom of a large proportion of people infected with Omicron was a mild cold, cough, or moderate influenza. Or many were asymptomatic at all. But even then, their cowardice has been serious in most cases. Omicron has reached deep into the body after infection in those patients. Has caused considerable damage to the lungs.
This is the first time the cause of covid has become known in patients with asthma. Some experts believe that this may be helpful in the treatment of covid in the future.
The study, by scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the United States, has been published in the international journal Science Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Wednesday.
Researchers have found that in patients with asthma, Covid does not become severe because of the role of the known cytokine-interleukin-13 in their body. These prevent the SARS-Cove-2 virus from infecting the area inside the two cells. Prevents cell entry. Even after entering the cell, no form of coronavirus, including Omicron, Delta, can reproduce at the expected rate for this interleukin-13 cytokine.
Cytokines are very small proteins or protein particles in the human body. They send a variety of messages (‘signals’) to the body’s immune system and control the growth and function of blood cells. Cytokines also send messages to immune cells about how to prevent inflammation in the human body.
