CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that the BCSFB of the ChP rather than the BBB is susceptible to direct SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thus, neuropsychiatric symptoms because of COVID-19 may rather be associated with dysfunction of the BCSFB than the BBB. Future
The design of protein interaction inhibitors is a promising approach to address aberrant protein interactions that cause disease. One strategy in designing inhibitors is to use peptidomimetic scaffolds that mimic the natural interaction interface. A
Across many fields, scenario modeling has become an important tool for exploring long-term projections and how they might depend on potential interventions and critical uncertainties, with relevance to both decision makers and scientists. In the past
CONCLUSIONS: SSSD-COVID can obtain good results on the target dataset alone, and when external information is introduced, the performance of the model can be further improved to significantly outperform other models.Overall, the experimental results
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been associated with a wide range of "long COVID" neurological symptoms. However, the mechanisms governing SARS-CoV-2
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare and rapidly fatal neurological disease. Diagnosis is made through clinical features, imaging, electroencephalography, and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. Sporadic CJD accounts for the majority of cases and
CONCLUSIONS: Identifying which estimates from epidemiologic studies correspond to the quantities needed to parameterize disease models, and determining whether these parameters have causal interpretations, can inform future study designs and improve
The resolution of SARS-CoV-2 replication hinges on cell-mediated immunity, wherein CD8^(+) T cells play a vital role. Nonetheless, the characterization of the specificity and TCR composition of CD8^(+) T cells targeting non-spike protein of SARS-CoV
Since the COVID-19 health crisis, telemedicine has received a lot of attention around the world. Following attempts to set up a telemedicine system, in particular teleconsultation and teleexpertise, which proved inconclusive in Burkina, we have seen
