Lab Experiments Support the COVID-19 Bradykinin Storm Theory

A new paper published in Nature Communications adds further evidence to the bradykinin storm theory of COVID-19’s viral pathogenesis—a theory that was posited 2 years ago by a team of researchers led by Systems Biologist Dan Jacobson at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). At…

Computational Gene Study Suggests New Pathway for COVID-19 Inflammatory Response

Analyses of lung fluid cells from COVID-19 patients conducted on the nation’s fastest supercomputer point to gene expression patterns that may explain the runaway symptoms produced by the body’s response to SARS-CoV-2. A team led by Dan Jacobson of the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory used the Summit…
