No drug or vaccine has yet been developed for the epidemic coronavirus. So far alternative medicines are being used to cure patients. Meanwhile, by assessing the immune response to the coronavirus in critically ill Covid-19 patients, scientists have identified unique patterns of the six molecules. Therapeutic goals for the disease can be set using this pattern.

492,085 people have lost their lives due to coronavirus infection. The priority is to prevent deaths from this infection because until the vaccine is ready, we will have to live with this virus. Meanwhile, the good news is that researchers at the Lawson Health Research Institute, UK, assessed blood samples of critically ill Covid-19 patients admitted to the London Health Sciences Center (LHSC).

Scientists based on the assessment found six top molecules in the blood of Covid-19 patients admitted to the ICU, which separate the patients from those who do not have this disease. According to scientists, the disease of some covid-19 patients over-reacts against the immune system virus and produces cytokine storms (a severe immune response in which the body releases a large amount of cytokine into the bloodstream very quickly). In this, increased levels of the body's natural inflammatory molecule harm healthy cells. Lawson, Assistant Writer of Research and Douglas Fraser of the Western Schulick School of Medicine and Dentistry, said that 'doctors are trying to reduce this extreme inflammation. But without knowing what their goal is after all. Our research, for the first time, identifies potential therapeutic targets and stops estimating."
