Interesting link between aging, serotonin, platelets and COVID-19 severity. A new study in Science Immunology from @iannaconelab.bsky.social and colleagues identifies platelet-derived serotonin as a driver of age-related lung pathology following SARS-CoV-2 infection. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Blocking serotonin uptake or 5-HT2A protects, with no cost to viral control. Kudos to postdoc Davide Marotta, who spearheaded the work, and to Marco De Giovanni for co-supervising it - a very fun collaboration between our two labs. 2/2
