Published: July 2023

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the COVID-19 disease have affected everyone globally, leading to one of recorded history's most significant research surges. As our knowledge evolves, our approaches to the virus and treatments must also evolve. The evaluation of future research approaches to SARS-CoV-2 will necessitate reviewing the host immune response and viral antagonism of that response. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge on SARS-CoV-2 by summarizing the virus and human response. The focuses are on the viral genome, replication cycle, host immune activation, response, signaling, and antagonism. To effectively fight the pandemic, efforts must focus on the current state of research to help develop treatments and prepare for future outbreaks.

The co-circulation of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 has led to co-infection events, primarily affecting children and older adults, who are at higher risk for severe disease. Although co-infection prevalence is relatively low, it is associated with worse outcomes compared to mono-infections. Previous studies have shown that the outcomes of co-infection depend on multiple factors, including viral interference, virus-host interaction and host response.

Although significant progress of clinical strategy has been made in gene editing and cell engineering in immunotherapy, it is now apparent that design and modification in terms of complex signaling pathways and motifs on medical synthetic biology are still full of challenges. Innate immunity, the first line of host defense against pathogens, is critical for anti-pathogens immune response as well as regulating durable and protective T cell-mediated anti-tumor responses. Here, we introduce DSCI (Database of Synthetic Biology Components for Innate Immunity, https://dsci.

Unlabelled: is well adapted to survive and persist in the infected host, escaping the host's immune response. Since polyamines such as spermine, which are synthesized by infected macrophages, are able to inhibit the growth of , the pathogen needs strategies to cope with these toxic metabolites. The actinomycete , a close relative of makes use of a gamma-glutamylation pathway to functionally neutralize spermine.

Coronaviruses (CoV) emerge suddenly from animal reservoirs to cause novel diseases in new hosts. Discovered in 2012, the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is endemic in camels in the Middle East and is continually causing local outbreaks and epidemics. While all three newly emerging human CoVs from the past 20 years (SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV) cause respiratory disease, each CoV has unique host interactions that drive differential pathogeneses.

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major obstacle in liver transplantation, especially with steatotic donor livers. Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota has been implicated in modulating IRI, and plays a pivotal role in regulating host inflammatory and immune responses, but its specific role in liver transplantation IRI remains unclear. This study explores whether can mitigate IRI and its underlying mechanisms.
