The impact of mucormycosis (black fungus) on SARS-CoV-2-infected patients: at a glance

Md Rezaul Islam et al.

Summary: Various diseases, including black fungus (mucormycosis), have emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to increased attention from health workers. The mutation of the virus has resulted in changes in its traits, including transmission rate, virulence, and pathogenesis. It has been found that some COVID-19 patients are also coinfected with mucormycosis. India has categorized the black fungus outbreak in COVID-19 patients as an epidemic, while only a few cases have been reported in other countries. The weakened immune system caused by COVID-19 medication makes patients more susceptible to infections like mucormycosis.

Detecting the Multiomics Signatures of Factor-Specific Inflammatory Effects on Airway Smooth Muscles

Yu-Hang Zhang et al.

Summary: Smooth muscles are a specific type of muscle found in internal passageways, with the airway smooth muscles playing a crucial role in the effective functioning of the airways. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 involves airway smooth muscles and their surrounding inflammatory environment, potentially contributing to the initiation and progression of severe diseases. Studies using machine learning approaches have identified regulatory factors and rules that contribute to the activation of airway smooth muscles by interleukins, offering insights into potential regulatory mechanisms and specific pathological factors for diseases associated with airway smooth muscle inflammation on multiomics levels.
