A team of researchers has made a dangerous discovery, stating that severe Covid leads to the mass self-destruction of cells in the lungs.
Researchers discovered this while studying tissue samples extracted from the lungs of patients who died as a result of developing severe forms of coronavirus infection.
American molecular biologists discovered that severe forms of coronavirus infection lead to the death of large numbers of lung cells as a result of triggering ferroptosis, which is a self-destruct program.
The Columbia University press service said on Monday, May 20, that preventing stem cell disease can protect patients from death.
Columbia University professor Brent Stockwell said: “This discovery has improved our understanding of how the Corona virus affects the functioning of cells in the human body, and we hope that this will lead to the development of new ways to combat this life-threatening virus, infection with which in some cases leads to death.” Or a serious deterioration in health.”
The researchers made this discovery while studying tissue samples extracted from the lungs of patients who died as a result of developing serious forms of coronavirus infection, as well as when conducting experiments on hamsters sensitive to the virus. Scientists analyzed how the vital activity of different types of cells in the respiratory organs changes during the development of damage resulting from infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The researchers conducted similar measurements of alveoli, blood vessel walls, and airways, in addition to other components of lung tissue in patients who died as a result of respiratory infections not related to coronavirus infection. Biologists found that in the lungs of all patients suffering from serious forms of “Covid-19” there were a large number of cells that died as a result of the stimulation of iron sclerosis.
Subsequent experiments and research showed that a self-destruct reaction occurred in a large number of lung tissues as a result of infection with the Coronavirus, leading to disturbances in the circulation of iron in the patients’ bodies. Scientists point out that the concentration of its ions in the respiratory organs can increase sharply as a result of the mass death of blood cells that use iron-containing hemoglobin to transport oxygen.
Scientists obtained similar results during experiments conducted on hamsters, which indicated the important role of the virus in the development of dangerous forms of “Covid.” The researchers concluded that this allows the use of biomarkers for iron sclerosis to quickly identify the most dangerous cases of infection, and also indicates that suppressing this process in lung cells will significantly reduce the probability of death in patients.
