SARS-CoV-2 infection induces dopaminergic neuronal loss in midbrain organoids during short and prolonged cultures
2023-03-21
Abstract excerpt
COVID-19 is mainly associated with respiratory symptoms, although several reports showed that SARS-CoV-2 affects the nervous system. We evaluated the effects of infection in prolonged culture of midbrain organoids, showing that the virus induces changes in gene expression, and fragmentation and loss of dopaminergic neurons. Our findings highlight the direct viral-induced damage to midbrain organoids indicating the...
