    Snippet: The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus constitutes the etiologic agent of the biggest pandemic of the 21 st century, causing the COVID-19 pneumonia-like disease. Originated in Wuhan (China), the virus has already caused 40,598 deaths as of 1 st April 2020 20 . In this context, recent scientific efforts suggest that the novel coronavirus strain has evolved to preferentially infect nasal goblet and ciliated cells as well as the type-2 alveolar epithelial cells.....
    Document: The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus constitutes the etiologic agent of the biggest pandemic of the 21 st century, causing the COVID-19 pneumonia-like disease. Originated in Wuhan (China), the virus has already caused 40,598 deaths as of 1 st April 2020 20 . In this context, recent scientific efforts suggest that the novel coronavirus strain has evolved to preferentially infect nasal goblet and ciliated cells as well as the type-2 alveolar epithelial cells 21, 22 . However, some non-respiratory-related symptoms such as loss of smell and taste hint as well to other tropism potential outside the respiratory tract 23, 24 . In terms of translational efficiency, we here discover that the coronavirus proteome is especially adapted not only to upper respiratory airways and alveoli, but also to the gastrointestinal tract and brain.
