Molecular pathways involved in COVID-19 and potential pathway-based therapeutic targets

Deciphering the molecular downstream consequences of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)− 2 infection is important for a greater understanding of the disease and treatment planning. Furthermore, greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms of diagnostic and therapeutic str...
