Kinases as Potential Therapeutic Targets for Anti-coronaviral Therapy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight kinases that are associated with coronavirus infections and their inhibitors with antiviral and potentially anti-inflammatory, cytokine-suppressive, or antifibrotic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune evasion of SARS-CoV-2 from interferon antiviral system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize and discuss the strategies of SARS-CoV-2 for evasion of innate immunity (particularly the antiviral IFN responses), understanding of which will facilitate not only the elucidation of infection and pathogenesis but also the development of antiviral intervention therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

A cytokine super cyclone in COVID-19 patients with risk factors: the therapeutic potential of BCG immunization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the pathogenic consequences of the cytokine storm and its relationship with COVID-19 associated risk factors, and evaluate the antiviral immune responses provided by BCG vaccination and the potential role of trained immunity in early protection against SARS-CoV2.
Journal ArticleDOI

COVID-19 in patients with multiple sclerosis undergoing disease-modifying treatments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed available information on how infections by human coronaviruses affect the immune system in untreated subjects and in patients affected by MS treated with drugs which modulate the immune systems.

Moderated estimation of fold change and dispersion for RNA-seq data with DESeq2

TL;DR: This work presents DESeq2, a method for differential analysis of count data, using shrinkage estimation for dispersions and fold changes to improve stability and interpretability of estimates, which enables a more quantitative analysis focused on the strength rather than the mere presence of differential expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast gapped-read alignment with Bowtie 2

TL;DR: Bowtie 2 combines the strengths of the full-text minute index with the flexibility and speed of hardware-accelerated dynamic programming algorithms to achieve a combination of high speed, sensitivity and accuracy.

A Novel Coronavirus from Patients with Pneumonia in China, 2019.

TL;DR: Human airway epithelial cells were used to isolate a novel coronavirus, named 2019-nCoV, which formed a clade within the subgenus sarbecovirus, Orthocoronavirinae subfamily, which is the seventh member of the family of coronaviruses that infect humans.

Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 99 cases of 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan, China: a descriptive study

TL;DR: Characteristics of patients who died were in line with the MuLBSTA score, an early warning model for predicting mortality in viral pneumonia, and further investigation is needed to explore the applicability of the Mu LBSTA scores in predicting the risk of mortality in 2019-nCoV infection.
