SARS-CoV-2 Cell Entry Depends on ACE2 and TMPRSS2 and Is Blocked by a Clinically Proven Protease Inhibitor

TLDR
It is demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 uses the SARS -CoV receptor ACE2 for entry and the serine protease TMPRSS2 for S protein priming, and it is shown that the sera from convalescent SARS patients cross-neutralized Sars-2-S-driven entry.

Virus-induced senescence is a driver and therapeutic target in COVID-19.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that SARS-CoV-2 evokes cellular senescence as a primary stress response in infected cells, and suggest that senolytic targeting of virus-infected cells is a treatment option against SARS and perhaps other viral infections.

Exploring the SARS-CoV-2 virus-host-drug interactome for drug repurposing.

TL;DR: CoVex as discussed by the authors is an interactive online platform for SARS-CoV-2 host interactome exploration and drug (target) identification, which integrates virus-human protein interactions, human protein-protein interactions, and drug-target interactions.

Inhibition of PIKfyve kinase prevents infection by Zaire ebolavirus and SARS-CoV-2.

TL;DR: These results define tools for studying the intracellular trafficking of pathogens elicited by inhibition of PIKfyve kinase and suggest the potential for targeting this kinase in developing small-molecule antivirals against SARS-CoV-2.

COVID-19-associated gastrointestinal and liver injury: clinical features and potential mechanisms.

TL;DR: COVID-19-related liver injury may be due to drug-induced liver injury, systemic inflammatory reaction, and hypoxia–ischemia reperfusion injury, and the direct toxic attack of SARS-CoV-2 on the liver is still questionable.

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.

A pneumonia outbreak associated with a new coronavirus of probable bat origin

TL;DR: Identification and characterization of a new coronavirus (2019-nCoV), which caused an epidemic of acute respiratory syndrome in humans in Wuhan, China, and it is shown that this virus belongs to the species of SARSr-CoV, indicates that the virus is related to a bat coronav virus.
