Turnbull, J., Jha, R., Ortori, C. A., Lunt, E., Tighe, P. J., Irving, W. L., Gohir, S. A., Kim, D.-H., Valdes, A. M., Tarr, A. W., Barrett, D. A., & Chapman, V. Serum levels of specialised pro-resolving molecule pathways are greatly increased in SARS-CoV-2 patients and correlate with markers of the adaptive immune response

Background Specialised pro-resolution molecules (SPMs) halt the transition to chronic pathogenic inflammation. We aimed to quantify serum levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory bioactive lipids in SARS-CoV-2 patients, and to identify potential relation...
