Likelihood of amyloid formation in COVID-19-induced ARDS

Trends Microbiol. 2021 Mar 29:S0966-842X(21)00067-6. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2021.03.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSevere coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection leads to multifactorial acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with little therapeutic success. The pathophysiology associated with ARDS or post-ARDS is not yet well understood. We hypothesize that amyloid formation occurring due to protein homeostasis disruption can be one of the complications associated with COVID-19-induced-ARDS.PMID:33795156 | DOI:10.1016/j.tim.2021.03.008
