  COVID-19 pandemic has claimed millions of lives and resulted in an economic slowdown worldwide. The mortality rate is approximately 2% in the United States, with many individuals requiring prolonged hospitalization.

The virus is associated with the cytokine storm in its severe form. This manifestation is highly lethal, resulting in acute respiratory distress syndrome and multi-organ failure. Since only a few therapeutic drugs can treat severe COVID-19, it is essential to focus on therapeutic strategies to increase the COVID-19 survi.. View More»
