1/n For my first tweet (!) excited to share this work by an amazing team of physicians & scientists: bit.ly/3jFvuZr
Punchline: Neutrophils are central to the pathogenesis of severe COVID-19.
Neutrophil granule proteins like Resistin predict critical illness and mortality

2/n There is an emerging consensus that damage from the immune system drives the most severe manifestations of COVID-19. Macrophages are an important player; otherwise, the nature of this immune response is still murky. To gain some deeper insights…
3/n We measured immune proteins in the blood of COVID-19 patients and found, using a machine learning model (JasonBishai @david_van_dijk), that these proteins could distinguish patients who were critically ill (in the ICU) from patients with less severe disease (non-ICU).
