Importance of Numb-associated kinases in SARS-CoV-2 infection
A new study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server has focussed on assessing four members of the NAK family that are associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. These kininases could act as a target for the development of effective COVID-19 therapeutics.

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 inhibitors found to attenuate COVID-19-associated cytokine storm
In a new study, researchers investigated whether the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and its S2 subunit induced the expression of C–X–C motif chemokine 10, a subset of cytokine.
