TLDR
COVID-19 can be understood by the region of the lung that is infected and can be divided into three phases that correspond to different clinical stages of the disease, which will be confined to the conducting airways and severe disease will involve the gas exchange portion of the lungs.
Abstract
COVID-19 can be understood by the region of the lung that is infected. Mild disease will be confined to the conducting airways and severe disease will involve the gas exchange portion of the lung.

Oral Hsp90 inhibitor, SNX-5422, attenuates SARS-CoV-2 replication and dampens inflammation in airway cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an orally bioavailable Hsp90 inhibitor, SNX-5422, currently in clinical trials as an anti-cancer therapeutic, inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro at a high selectivity index.

Identification of Images of COVID-19 from Chest X-rays Using Deep Learning: Comparing COGNEX VisionPro Deep Learning 1.0™ Software with Open Source Convolutional Neural Networks.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the deep learning software, VisionPro Deep Learning, to classify chest X-rays from the COVIDx dataset and achieved an overall F1 score of 94.0% and on the segmented lungs, it achieved an F1score of 95.3%.

Use of exogenous pulmonary surfactant in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS): Role in SARS-CoV-2-related lung injury.

TL;DR: The use of exogenous pulmonary surfactant seems to be promising as an additional therapy for the treatment of inflammatory lung diseases, especially ARDS, especially COVID-19-associated ARDS patients as mentioned in this paper.

A Prototype QSP Model of the Immune Response to SARS-CoV-2 for Community Development

TL;DR: A prototype QSP model is presented that captures two physiologically relevant outcomes following infection: a “healthy” immune response that appropriately defends against the virus, and an uncontrolled alveolar inflammatory response that is characteristic of acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Egg-Derived Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) With Broad Variant Activity as Intranasal Prophylaxis Against COVID-19

TL;DR: Antibodies from eggs of hens that were administered the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein were developed for use as nasal drops to capture the virus on the nasal mucosa and surprisingly had indistinguishable enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay binding against variants of concern that have emerged.
