You work for a large biotechnology company that is studying viruses, vaccines, and small molecule inhibitors. You are asked to give an overview of cell signaling as it relates to the coronavirus and young adults.
a) Describe cell signaling pathways (e.g., at least 3) that are likely manipulated during a coronavirus infection. In your description, include how the pathways are involved in antagonizing the host antiviral response.
