Molecular Insights into the Crosstalk Between Immune Inflammation Nexus and SARS-CoV-2 Virus.

ABSTRACT: COVID-19, a type of viral pneumonia caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has challenged the world as global pandemic. It has marked the identification of third generation of extremely pathogenic zoonotic coronaviruses of twenty-first century posing threat to humans and mainly targeting the lower respiratory tract. In this review, we focused on not only the structure and virology of SARS-COV-2 but have discussed in detail the molecular immunopathogenesis of this novel virus highlighting its interaction with immune system and the role of compromised or dysregulated immune response towards disease severity. We attempted to correlate the crosstalk between unregulated inflammatory outcomes with disrupted host immunity which may play a potential role towards fatal acute resp
