Novel Treatment with Neuroprotective and Antiviral Properties against a Neuroinvasive Human Respiratory Virus
14 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
Human coronaviruses (HCoVs) are recognized respiratory pathogens with neuroinvasive and neurotropic properties in mice and humans. HCoV strain OC43 (HCoV-OC43) can infect and persist in human neural cells and activate neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative mechanisms, suggesting that it could be involved in neurological disease of unknown etiology in humans. Moreover, we have shown that HCoV-OC43 is...
