A recent computational study from India implicated a dysregulated vitamin D pathway in the pathobiology of the infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) – and opened the door for experimental validation of these observations. The paper is currently available on the bioRxiv* preprint server.
A major public health calamity due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which is a life-threatening disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, mobilized the global research community in deciphering fundamental mechanisms and cellular pathways that are responsible for symptom variety, disease severity and progression, as well as recovery or death.
