Description
Summary:Long COVID, or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, leads to vascular dysfunction, which contributes to the chronic multi-organ damage often seen in affected patients. Long COVID, a global health concern is associated with increased thrombotic risk, also known as COVID-19-associated coagulopathy (CAC). Here, we derived an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a long COVID patient. This iPSC line showed normal morphology, maintained pluripotency, had a stable karyotype, and demonstrated the ability to differentiate into the three germ layers (ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm). This line provides a valuable tool for modeling long COVID and exploring mechanisms underlying multi-organ dysfunction.
