Evolution and epidemic spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Brazil.

Darlan da Silva Candido, +85 more
- 23 Jul 2020 - 
TL;DR: New light is shed on the epidemic transmission and evolutionary trajectories of SARS-CoV-2 lineages in Brazil and evidence that current interventions remain insufficient to keep virus transmission under control in this country is provided.

Data from: Evolution and epidemic spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Brazil

Darlan da Silva Candido, +77 more
TL;DR: New light is shed on the epidemic transmission and evolutionary trajectories of SARS-CoV-2 lineages in Brazil, and evidence that current interventions remain insufficient to keep virus transmission under control in the country is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphological, cellular, and molecular basis of brain infection in COVID-19 patients

Fernanda Crunfli, +87 more
TL;DR: It is shown that astrocytes are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection through a noncanonical mechanism that involves spike–NRP1 interaction and respond to the infection by remodeling energy metabolism, which in turn alters the levels of metabolites used to fuel neurons and support neurotransmitter synthesis.

Evolution and epidemic spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Brazil

Darlan da Silva Candido, +81 more
- 23 Jun 2020 - 
TL;DR: Light is shed on the role of large and highly connected populated centres in the rapid ignition and establishment of SARS-CoV-2, and evidence that current interventions remain insufficient to keep virus transmission under control in Brazil is provided.

SARS-CoV-2 infects brain astrocytes of COVID-19 patients and impairs neuronal viability

Fernanda Crunfli, +86 more
- 13 Nov 2020 - 
TL;DR: The data support the model where SARS-CoV-2 reaches the brain, infects astrocytes and triggers neuropathological changes that contribute to the structural and functional alterations in the brain of COVID-19 patients.
