Serotonin reduction in post-acute sequelae of viral infection

New publication in the Cell journal

„In this study, we perform a metabolomics investigation and find that serotonin levels are a possible discriminator between recovered individuals and Long COVID patients. Using a combination of human cohort studies, animal models of viral infection, and organoid cultures, we determine that the presence of viral RNA and downstream interferon responses cause a decrease in serotonin.“
