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...

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.

At present, the molecular mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 in the host cells are not sufficiently comprehended. Some of the mechanisms are proposed considering the existing similarities between SARS-CoV-2 and the other members of the β-CoVs, and others are explained based on studies advanced in the structure and function of SARS-CoV-2. In this review, we endeavored to map the possible mechanisms of the host response following SARS-CoV-2 infection and surveyed current research conducted by in vitro, in vivo and human observations, as well as existing suggestions.
