      Olsen, Maria Belland; Huse, Camilla; Sousa, Mirta; Murphy, Sarah Louise Mikalsen; Sarno, Antonio; Obermann, Tobias Sebastian; Yang, Kuan; Holter, Jan Cato; Jørgensen, Marthe Jøntvedt; Christensen, Erik Egeland; Wang, Wei; Ji, Ping; Heggelund, Lars; Hoel, Hedda; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Gregersen, Ida; Aukrust, Pål; Bjørås, Magnar; Halvorsen, Bente; Dahl, Tuva Børresdatter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Purpose: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are an important part of the inflammatory response during infection but can also promote DNA damage. Due to the sustained inflammation in severe Covid-19, we hypothesized that ...

      Background Immune dysregulation is a major factor in the development of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The homeostatic chemokines CCL19 and CCL21 have been implicated as mediators of tissue inflammation, but ...

      Background: T-cell activation is associated with an adverse outcome in COVID-19, but whether T-cell activation and exhaustion relate to persistent respiratory dysfunction and death is unknown. Objectives: To investigate ...
