The APOE gene - which encodes Apolipoprotein E – has been extensively studied due to its biological relevance to a range of neurological and cardiovascular diseases, including Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). In addition to the roles APOE plays in developmental diseases such as AD, additional studies have shown APOE to be implicated in the host response to a range of infectious pathogens, including herpes simplex virus type I (HSV1) and hepatitis C virus (HCV).

Recent news continues to show that the COVID-19 pandemic situation globally is far from being over. Across the entire world, the pneumonia-like COVID-19 caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) remains a huge medical challenge. To provide a wholistic guide for developing clinical treatments, vaccines, and antiviral drugs, it is of great significance to study the interaction mechanisms between severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronaviruses and host molecules, while also exploring the pathogenic process of coronaviruses. Accurate animal models are necessary for verifying the pathogenesis and immune mechanisms of the illness to accelerate research across vaccine development, new drug development, gene therapy, and more.

The COVID-19 epidemic is now a huge challenge for the entire world. Since the epidemic in most of the countries is controlled, colleges, universities and institutes worldwide, gradually returned to school or lab and started their scientific research work. However, the recent local restrictions and measures against COVID-19 and the unclear prospect of the epidemic have made many scientific researchers anxious.

Although the origin of the new coronavirus remains inconclusive, according to the analysis of existing genomic data, the scientific community has drawn preliminary conclusions that bats may be the reservoir species for the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). If this view is proved to be credible, how does the virus jump from a bat to a human? With the development of the pandemic, the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has demonstrated its power to infect human beings with continuous improvement. Herein, we discuss how the coronavirus has been transferred from bats to humans, why SARS-CoV-2 is so deadly, and explore whether it may disappear someday.

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced the reclassification of the COVID-19 outbreak as a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. With the rapid spread of the disease across the globe, countries worldwide have joined the war against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is of great significance to study the interaction mechanisms between human coronaviruses (hCoVs) and host molecules, and also explore the pathogenic process of viruses to provide a wholistic guide for developing clinical treatments, vaccines, and antiviral drugs.
