An Ongoing Global Research on Covid-19 in Relation With Patients Suffering from Lungs Disorder:
Researchers are continually struggling to escape the symptoms of Covid-19. But these symptoms spread very quickly in the case of patients suffering from lung disorders. According to the latest research at Texas University, the number of Covid-19 cases has increased to 9 million in total.
Lung inflammation occurs as a result of getting severely attacked by Covid-19 in patients already suffering from cardiovascular or lung diseases. It becomes a reason for the fast and increased deterioration of the lungs. The ongoing research findings suggest that this process results in response to neurogenic swelling that involves the inflammation of nerves surrounding the lungs region.

The Role of the Immune System and Cytokine Storm Induction:
The situation of patients suffering from Covid-19 gets critical in the case of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). These patients are unable to breathe properly, and the saturation rate of the blood decreases, making their condition worse, and in some cases, it ultimately leads to their death.

Patients suffering from ARDS often suffer from Cytokine storms as a result of the Covid-19 attack. In the case of the cytokine storm, the body starts to produce signals as a result of the formation of signaling proteins responsible for activating the immune system. The cells of the immune system, in turn, enable the signaling of sensory neurons in the body that leads to behavioral changes in humans.
When integrated with our immune cells, these sensory neurons have a significant impact on controlling the response initiated by our immune system. In the same manner, pathogens also interact with sensory neurons to start colonization and survival.

Working of Functional Proteins or Receptors:
A comparative analysis of molecular profiling of dorsal neuronal cell bodies and immune cells from Covid-19 patient’s lungs was conducted. The research findings suggest that merging these two profiles has provided us a detailed understanding and an in-depth analysis of the mechanism between nerve cells and immune cells.
As mentioned earlier, the outset of abundant signaling proteins in response to the Covid-19 attack is at a higher rate in already existing lung patients. In the same manner, there is a sharp increase in the production of a receptor of immune cells known as NMDA (N-methyl D-aspartate). The increased production of this receptor results in bridging the communication gap between immune cells through glutamate. The research analysis suggests that we can reduce the damaging effect produced by the pathogenic cells by interrupting this action. There are already developed antagonists for NMDA receptors, which can help in blocking the targeted location.

Scientific Progress & Covid-19:
The ongoing research on Covid-19 is happening at a faster rate today. The research findings have helped us evaluate the relationship between immune cells and sensory neurons. The study of its in-depth relationship will help us target the pathogen or virus at a specific position and block its function by suppressing its key proteins. These results or research findings will prove beneficial as the latest development and create a major influence in the field of medical sciences.
