Severe COVID-19 symptoms may not be caused by cytokine storm
An analysis reveals that in comparison to other inflammatory diseases such as cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) and sepsis, the levels of cytokines in severely ill COVID-19 patients is low.

SARS-CoV-2 also uses neuropilin-1 to infect human cells
Researchers reveal that SARS-CoV-2 is more infectious than SARS-CoV because it can use both ACE2 and neuropilin-1 to infect cells.
