Fluids Barriers CNS
August 2022
Article Synopsis
- - COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, can lead to severe respiratory problems and has been shown to affect the central nervous system (CNS), with the virus found in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid of patients.
- - The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is believed to be the main pathway for SARS-CoV-2 to infect the brain, but the full details of how the virus interacts with the neurovascular units (NVU) in the CNS remain unclear.
- - Age and underlying health conditions are significant risk factors for severe COVID-19 outcomes, prompting discussions on how mitochondrial dysfunction might contribute to inflammation and potential drug therapies to improve neurological health in older patients.
