Overview of effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the muscle and bone. The SARS-CoV-2 infection elicits systemic inflammation (Cytokine storm), which activates the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway. Kynurenine is broken down into several downstream metabolites, which further activates AhR signaling, affecting the integrity and structure of the musculoskeletal system.
