Finally, my research group previously showed that cystic fibrosis transductance regulator (CFTR) malfunction, as found in cystic fibrosis, increases HMGB1 serum concentrations, along with inflammation, and further increases are observed at the onset of the specifically related diabetes [24] . Furthermore, diabetes is a recognized risk factor for Sars-CoV2 infection [27] , and HMGB1 is known to be increased in diabetes [8] .
