The remora of JPP
In a first, researchers have demonstrated that different variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind Covid-19, have the ability to infect the central nervous system.
The study, conducted in an animal model and published in the journal Nature Communications, confirms that SARS-CoV-2 is capable of infecting human neurons in vitro and migrating into axons -- the nerve cell projections that carry information.
In the study, researchers from the Institut Pasteur and Universite Paris Cite in France demonstrated that the original strain of the virus first detected in Wuhan and the Gamma, Delta and Omicron/BA.1 variants can enter the central nervous system and remain there during the acute phase of the infection.
