elevated #vascular #endothelial cell turnover and #erythropoiesis in #asymptomatic #COVID19 patients | https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.07.28.550957v1 “Asymptomatic patients had elevated levels of immune-derived cfDNA but did not show evidence of #pulmonary or #cardiac damage. Surprisingly, these patients showed elevated levels of vascular endothelial cell and erythroblast cfDNA, suggesting that sub-clinical vascular and erythrocyte turnover are universal features of COVID19, independent of disease #severity.
