Description
Summary:From a historical perspective, pandemics have been repeatedly caused by different pathogens, such as plague in the fourteenth century and cholera in the nineteenth century. Since the twentieth century, we have had the Spanish flu almost 100 years ago, the worst infectious disease in human history, and now the COVID-19 which is caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection [1,2,3]. In this theoretical series reviews, although it is not possible to cover all of the subjects mentioned above, we entitled this “COVID-19: its pathogenetic mechanisms and potential therapeutics” and invited leading researchers on COVID-19-related studies from the perspective of inflammation research and regenerative medicine and translational research, which are this journals’ specialties, in addition to the basic properties and epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 as follows: Clinical trials for COVID-19-related disorders Here, we would like to express sincere gratitude to the distinguished researchers who contributed to this theoretical series reviews and sincerely hope that these review articles will provide novel insights for the suppression of COVID-19 as well as to the researchers in the broad field of inflammation and regeneration. 1.
