Lungs can work less optimally in these three general ways, and COVID-19 can lead to all of them. Researchers and clinicians are still figuring out ways to best treat the long-term lung damage seen in long COVID. For clinicians, closely following up with patients...
The patient, from East China's Jiangsu Province, was confirmed to be infected with COVID-19 on January 26. After a series of medical treatments, he had shown negative results for the virus in multiple nucleic acid tes...
CoV-2 infection, has been shown by Monteil et al. [53]. hrACE2 not only inhibits the early entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells but also protects COVID-19 patients from severe acute lung failure [54]. Azithromycin Azithromycin is an antibiotic that exhibits antiviral and immunomodulatory pr...

Twenty years ago, methylprednisolone therapy was proven effective for improving lung injury and reducing mortality in ARDS (7). Recently, in treatment of COVID-19, it has also been reported that the use of steroids, especially low-dose therapy, can effectively reverse the condition of severe ...
It has been reported that treatment with MSCs can upgrade acute/chronic lung damage and ARDS (Ortiz et al. 2007). Recently, clinical trials of MSC-based therapy in COVID-19 patients have been started in China and two trials are currently ongoing. Vaccines Vaccination is highly recommended ...
Granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), a myelopoietic growth factor and pro-inflammatory cytokine, plays a critical role in alveolar macrophage homeostasis, lung inflammation and immunological disease. Both administration and inhibition of GM-CSF are currently being therapeutically ...
In the study, scientists from Sun Yat-sen University and Shenzhen-based Southern University of Science and Technology found the oral administration of ATV006 can reduce viral loads, alleviate lung damage and effectively prevent death in infected mice. ...
Renal cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 and cellular damage Although the respiratory system is the major target of COVID‐19, reports indicated that kidney involvement is frequent and ranges from mild proteinuria to an advanced acute kidney injury (AKI). Proposed mechanisms of kidney injury in COVID...
