Background: Evidence show that Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been associated with neurological complications in the viral infections. Here in the current investigation, we intended to reveal if MMPs are potentially involved in the development of neurological symptoms in the patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Methods: The levels of MMPs, inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules were evaluated in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from 10 COVID-19 patients with neurological syndrome (NS) and 10 COVID-19 patients lacking NS.
Background: Impaired elimination mechanisms of the autoreactive lymphocytes, like T lymphocytes, via apoptosis may be the cause of continues inflammatory state in multiple sclerosis (MS). BIRC5 gene codify for the survivin, which participates in the modulation of apoptosis and cell survival. The objective of this study was investigation of the role of important confirmed miRNAs, including miR-335, miR-485, miR-542, and miR-708, in the regulation of survivin mRNA in the CD4+ T cells of MS cases.

However, the results have been inconsistent and inconclusive. To resolve this issue, here we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the MMP-91562 C/T (rs3918242), MMP-3 (- 1612 5A/6A), and MMP-2 (- 1306 C/T) polymorphisms and susceptibility to MS.

The obtained results may be helpful for vaccine producers and researchers to compare the strains with wild type and other vaccine strains and select the correct strain to challenge their products.
Methods: Fourteen rabies virus vaccine strains were compared with each other.
