Considerations for Treating Corona Virus (Sars-Cov-2) Infection with Passive Immunotherapy
The corona viruses are transient RNA viruses; once an infected individual recovers he or she becomes virus-free and immune. One could expect that in SARS-Covid-19 also, infected individuals who recover will have developed some form of protective…

microRNAs in viral acute respiratory infections: immune regulation, biomarkers, therapy, and vaccines
Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded RNAs of 17–24 nt. These molecules regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level and are differentially expressed in viral acute respiratory infections (ARIs), which are responsible for high…
