Mitochondrial Meltdown: Researchers Unveil COVID-19’s Hidden Attack on Vital Organs

By CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA AUGUST 13, 2023 Researchers have discovered that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can negatively impact mitochondrial genes, causing dysfunction in multiple organs beyond the lungs. This finding, suggesting that COVID-19 should be viewed as a systemic disorder, highlights potential new therapeutic targets, including the microRNA 2392. Mitochondrial function in the lungs showed recovery, but this...
