Single‐Cell Transcriptomic Analysis of the Immune Response to COVID‐19 and Tuberculosis Coinfection

Exploration, EarlyView.
Understanding the immunological basis for severe outcomes in COVID‐19/Tuberculosis coinfection is critical. Our single‐cell analysis identifies key drivers: profound lymphocyte loss through combined apoptosis and altered trafficking, excessive S100 protein‐mediated inflammation contributing to cytokine storms, and systemic immune dysfunction ...
