Inflammasomes are activated in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and are associated with COVID-19 severity in patients.

TL;DR: This work shows that inflammasomes are activated in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro and in COVID-19 patients, contributing to the exacerbated inflammatory response, impacting disease progression and clinical outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The SARS-CoV-2 Assessment of Viral Evolution (SAVE) as mentioned in this paper was designed to provide a real-time risk assessment of SARS CoV2 variants that could potentially affect the transmission, virulence and resistance to infection-and vaccine-induced immunity.
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.
