| Abstract | The outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has thus far killed over 300,000 people and infected near 5,000,000 worldwide, resulting in great catastrophe for humans. Similar to its homologous virus, SARS-CoV, which caused SARS in thousands of people in 2003, SARS-CoV-2 might also be transmitted from the bats and causes similar symptoms through a similar mechanism. However, COVID-19 has lower severity and mortality than SARS but is much more transmissive and affects more elderly individuals than youth. In response to the rapidly increasing number of publications on the emerging disease (near 13,000 based on the keyword of COVID-19), this article attempts to provide a timely and comprehensive review of the swiftly developing research subject. We will cover the basics about the epidemiology, etiology, virology, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention of the disease. Interestingly, stem cells play an increasingly important role in the disease modeling, drug screening, and treatment of the disease. Although many questions still require answers, we hope that this review helps in the understanding and eradication of the threatening disease. |
