Abstract:
The respiratory illness known as COVID-19 is caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. While the precise pathogenic mechanism of COVID-19 remains unclear, the occurrence of a cytokine storm subsequent to viral infection plays a pivotal role in the initiation and advancement of the disease. The infection of SARS-CoV-2 induces a state of immune system hyperactivity, leading to an excessive production of inflammatory cytokines. Consequently, the identification of the various signaling pathways implicated in the inflammation induced by COVID-19 will enable researchers to investigate new targets for therapeutic intervention.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
