In this report we discuss the possibility to target Notch signalling to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and interfere with the progression of COVID-19- associated heart and lungs disease.doi:10.1007/s00395-020-0791-5Paola Rizzo0000 0004 1757 2064grid.8484.0Department of Morphology, Surgery and ...
COVID-19 was only identified in 2019 and scientists are learning more every day about what it can do to your lungs. They believe that the effects on your body are similar to those of two other coronavirus diseases, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome ...
Although SARS-CoV-2 infection is considered a systemic disease and may affect virtually every part of the body, the central finding and the primary cause of death in most cases of severe COVID-19 is lung damage. Results obtained from autopsies have been crucial for the identification of patho...
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), results in life-threatening disease in a minority of patients, especially elderly people and those with co-morbidities such as obesity and diabetes. Severe disease is characterized by dysregulated cytokine...
Upon post-mortem examination of the lungs of COVID-19 patients who had died of the disease, Nicolai and colleagues found many microclots within the finest branches of the pulmonary vasculature. Similar observations were made in the heart and the kidney. A histological section of the lung...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which predominantly affects the lungs and, under certain circumstances, leads to an excessive or uncontrolled immune activation and cytokine response in alveolar structures. The patter...
CONOVER, N.C. (AP) — Jason Lail was healthy before he got COVID-19. He loved to hunt and fish. He played with his children. He had no medical conditions.
[170]. Considering the connection between androgens andTMPRSS2expression, especially in the lungs, the predominance in the number of COVID-19 deaths among males may be partially explained by high androgen levels and hence sustainedTMPRSS2expression [20,181]. However, similar TMPRSS2 expression ...

noticed that in severe cases of Covid-19 – the ones that landed people in the hospital on ventilators with shredded lungs – most of the internal wreckage wasn’t being directly inflicted by the virus itself but by a blizzard of immune reactions triggered by the body to fight the infection...
