Abstract

We read with great interest the inspiring collection of papers Education in Anatomy (Volume 43, issue 4, April 2021), and we wish to share our scientific view on this topic. Everybody knows that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread to become a global pandemic. From studies on Neanderthal’s gene clusters associated with severe COVID-19 [5], to vaccine and therapeutics development, histopathological examination of patient’s tissues, and structural basis of virus protein’s antigenicity, the worldwide research community is spending tremendous efforts in understanding COVID-19 disease. Can we exploit all this knowledge to make anatomy more relevant for the future?
