Entry, egress and vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the molecular mechanism for entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells, the basis for the failure of the lungs and other organs in severe acute cases, and the evidence for congenital transmission.

Cellular metabolic basis of altered immunity in the lungs of patients with COVID-19

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the lung single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) data of several deceased COVID-19 patients and focused on changes in transcripts associated with cellular metabolism, which revealed a possible cellular metabolic basis for the altered innate immunity, adaptive immunity, and niche cell function in the lung after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Bacterial and fungal growth in sputum cultures from 165 COVID-19 pneumonia patients requiring intubation: evidence for antimicrobial resistance development and analysis of risk factors.

TL;DR: In severe COVID-19 pneumonia, a radiographic ground glass interstitial pattern and lack of purulent sputum suggest antibacterials are not needed, and continuing longterm hospitalisation and antibiotics are associated with spUTum cultures reflective of hospital-acquired microbes and increasing antimicrobial resistance.

The COVID-Kidney Controversy: Can SARS-CoV-2 Cause Direct Renal Infection?

TL;DR: In this article, a growing number of conflicting kidney biopsy and autopsy reports highlight this controversial issue and conclude that inhibition of viral infection and replication directly modulates kidney damage is inconclusive, and that therapies that improve hemodynamic stability and oxygenation, or dampen complement activation, are likely to ameliorate acute kidney injury in COVID-19.
