Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Dyavar S Ravi"
- Dyavar S Ravi's recent research focuses on the effects of viral infections, particularly HIV and SARS-CoV-2, on neurological complications and immune responses, suggesting links between these infections and subsequent neurodegenerative conditions such as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC).
- His work includes the development of in-vitro models to study the blood-brain barrier and characterizations of receptor expression in brain cells that are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection, emphasizing the complexity of neuroinvasion by the virus.
- Additionally, Ravi investigates the impact of opioids on immune function and viral reservoirs in the context of HIV, highlighting the interplay between substance abuse and viral pathogenesis, which has significant implications for treatment strategies.
