Activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway may lead to a delay in Oxidative stress -NF-kB -toll-like receptor (mainly TL4) signaling pathways, triggered by viral pathogens like SARS-CoV, may further amplify the host inflammatory response, ultimately leading to acute lung injury. In conclusion, literature evidence suggests that oxidative stress and chronic low-grade inflammation in the lungs are associated with aging and may contribute to age-related immune dysfunction and mortality risk in aged patients affected by respiratory virus infections, such as SARS-CoV-2. ./cache/cord-290056-x74cq2k5.txt ./txt/cord-290056-x74cq2k5.txt
