Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, leading to severe respiratory infections and a global health crisis.
- The interaction between the virus and the immune system can lead to diverse symptoms, with the adaptive immune response being vital for fighting the infection, but sometimes the innate immune system can exacerbate the situation.
- The review discusses how the immune system becomes exhausted during the infection, the virus's ability to inhibit T cell responses, and explores potential strategies for immunomodulation to enhance immune defense against SARS-CoV-2.
