Hamsters with long COVID present distinct transcriptomic profiles associated with neurodegenerative processes in brainstem - Nature Communications

SARS-CoV-2 persists in the brainstem long after the initial infection has passed. Infected animals exhibit symptoms of anxiety, depression, and memory impairment as well as changes in the brain that can be related to neurodegenerative processes.

⚠️ New #UCSF #FindCOVID / #LIINC paper in #NatureComms showing covid19 burden in first 3 weeks of a COVID 🦠infection predicts future #LongCovid

In addition to Long Covid treatment trials, we need investment in studies to prevent Long Covid!

Zero US-based trials on prevention so far.

Sleep cycle-dependent vascular dynamics in male mice and the predicted effects on perivascular cerebrospinal fluid flow and solute transport - Nature Communications

Why fluid and solute transport in perivascular spaces is enhanced upon sleep remains elusive. Here, the authors show that each sleep cycle state displays unique perivascular dynamics, which enhances predicted fluid movement and solute transport.

Good news in the field of immune-mediated diseases!

Pietro Demela, Nicola Pirastu, and Blagoje Soskic from our Population and Medical Genomics Research Centre have published a new study in @naturecomms that uncovers distinct genetic patterns associated with nine immune-mediated diseases.

Immune-mediated diseases: different but similar - Human Technopole

More than 80 immune-mediated diseases have been identified to date. However, it is unclear whether the same genetic factors underpin their onset. By coupling statistical methods with genome-wide association studies (GWAS), the Soskic group has shown that diverse immune-mediated diseases have distinct genetic patterns that converge on activating the same cells and signalling pathways. Immune-mediated […]
