摘要
COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected the lives of humans worldwide. We no longer experience the same quality of life and need to come up with effective solutions to combat the clinical implications. The vast knowledge about the pathways that regulate the virus entry and molecular signaling of the pathogenesis of coronavirus are the key factor for the development of de novo diagnostic/therapeutic strategies. Meanwhile, the emergence of nanotechnology, could offer enormous help in the battle against coronavirus. In this editorial, the role of molecular elements in the pathobiology of the disease and the significance of nanoscaled pharmaceuticals is highlighted.
