Endothelial dysfunction and immunothrombosis as key pathogenic mechanisms in COVID-19.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that SARS-CoV-2 infection induces a process known as immunothrombosis, in which activated neutrophils and monocytes interact with platelets and the coagulation cascade, leading to intravascular clot formation in small and larger vessels.

Megakaryocytes and platelet-fibrin thrombi characterize multi-organ thrombosis at autopsy in COVID-19: A case series.

TL;DR: In this series of seven COVID-19 autopsies, thrombosis was a prominent feature in multiple organs, in some cases despite full anticoagulation and regardless of timing of the disease course, suggesting that thROMbosis plays a role very early in the disease process.

A Mouse-Adapted SARS-CoV-2 Induces Acute Lung Injury and Mortality in Standard Laboratory Mice.

TL;DR: A new mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 virus that captures multiple aspects of severe COVID-19 disease in standard laboratory mice is generated and characterized to provide a robust platform for studies of ALI and ARDS to evaluate vaccine and antiviral drug performance.

A systematic review of pathological findings in COVID-19: a pathophysiological timeline and possible mechanisms of disease progression.

TL;DR: A timeline and correlating histopathological findings with clinical stages of COVID-19 are constructed and found to be consistent with knowledge regarding clinical patterns of viral infection, development of hyperinflammation and hypercoagulability, and fibrosis.

COVID-19 treatments and pathogenesis including anosmia in K18-hACE2 mice.

TL;DR: Transgenic K18-hACE2 mice are a useful model for studying the pathological basis of both mild and lethal COVID-19 and for assessing therapeutic interventions; infection of these mice resulted in severe pneumonia and, in some cases, infection in the brain, which was prevented by convalescent plasma.

Pulmonary Pathology of Early-Phase 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pneumonia in Two Patients With Lung Cancer.

TL;DR: Pathologic examinations revealed that apart from the tumors, the lungs of both patients exhibited edema, proteinaceous exudate, focal reactive hyperplasia of pneumocytes with patchy inflammatory cellular infiltration, and multinucleated giant cells, which likely represent an early phase of the lung pathology of COVID-19 pneumonia.
