Enterovirus A71 crosses a human blood–brain barrier model through infected immune cells
Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is associated with neurological conditions such as acute meningitis and encephalitis. The virus is detected in the bloodstream, and high blood viral loads are associated with central nervous system (CNS) manifestations.

Chemokines in Alzheimer's Disease: Early Defence, Late Damage and the Impact of Sex and Infection
ABSTRACT Chemokines constitute a versatile signalling network maintaining homeostasis and glia–neuron communication in the healthy brain but become progressively dysregulated during aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD). This review examines how chemokine systems transition from tightly regulated homeostatic signals to drivers of chronic neuroinflammation

Neuroimmune connections in ovine pharyngeal tonsil: potential site for prion neuroinvasion [PDF]
peer reviewedRecent studies have proved the possible implication of nasal associated lymphoid tissues, mainly the pharyngeal tonsil, in prion pathogenesis. However, the mechanisms of this neuroinvasion are still being debated.

Dramatic Reduction of PrPC Level and Glycosylation in Peripheral Nerves following PrP Knock-Out from Schwann Cells Does Not Prevent Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy Neuroinvasion [PDF]
Expression of the prion protein (PrPC) is a requirement for host susceptibility to the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) and thought to be necessary for the replication and transport of the infectious agent.

Neuroinvasion in Prion Diseases: The Roles of Ascending Neural Infection and Blood Dissemination
Prion disorders are infectious, neurodegenerative diseases that affect humans and animals. Susceptibility to some prion diseases such as kuru or the new variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans and scrapie in sheep and goats is influenced by ...

Susceptibility of Mouse Brain to MCMV Infection and Neuroinflammation During Ontogeny
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) rarely infects the brain following infection of adult individuals. However, the virus readily infects the brain during congenital HCMV (cHCMV) infection, frequently causing severe neurodevelopmental and neurological sequelae.

Influence of pseudorabies virus proteins on neuroinvasion and neurovirulence in mice [PDF]
Neurotropism is a distinctive feature of members of the Alphaherpesvirinae. However, its molecular basis remains enigmatic. In the past, research has been focused mainly on the role of viral envelope proteins in modulating herpesvirus neuroinvasion and ...
