COVID-19 Animation | SARS-CoV-2 infection and treatment | InvivoGen

SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, has spread rapidly around the world, causing a global pandemic. To this day it remains uncontrolled. SARS-CoV-2 infects host cells, and in the more severe cases, this can cause an unbalanced and excessive pro-inflammatory response. Scientists are exploring numerous ways to treat COVID-19, through the repurposed of approved drugs, as well as, novel therapeutics such as antibodies isolated from recovered patients. Additionally, they are developing a preventive strategy, with ongoing clinical trials for the development of a safe and effective vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, with it crucial in curbing viral spread.
