Skin-derived dendritic cells acquire and degrade the scrapie agent following in vitro exposure [PDF]
, 2005 The accumulation of the scrapie agent in lymphoid tissues following inoculation via the skin is critical for efficient neuroinvasion, but how the agent is initially transported from the skin to the draining lymph node is not known. Langerhans cells (LCs)

A Route for Prion Neuroinvasion [PDF]
Neuron, 2001 The astonishing recognition that self-propagating changes in protein structure may be at the basis of spongiform encephalopathies is changing our views of transmissible diseases. Infectious agents consisting of abnormally folded proteins (i.e., the prion) can propagate in host organisms using previously unrecognized routes and invade the brain after a ...

CONCERNING THE NEUROTROPY AND NEUROINVASIVENESS OF CORONAVIRUSES
Journal of Clinical Practice, 2020 At the present state of COVID-19 we may propose some preliminary thoughts on its direct and distant sequels. In our review we propose that novel virus SARS-CoV-2, as well as other members of Coronaviridae family, may possess neurotropic and neuroinvasive features; it may enter the nervous system via the intranasal way and directly infect human brain ...

Multiple Neuroinvasive Pathways in COVID-19 [PDF]
Molecular Neurobiology, 2020 COVID-19 is a highly infectious viral disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. While it was initially regarded as a strictly respiratory illness, the impact of COVID-19 on multiple organs is increasingly recognized. The brain is among the targets of COVID-19, and it can be impacted in multiple ways, both directly and indirectly. Direct brain

Neuroinvasion by Human Respiratory Coronaviruses
Journal of Virology, 2000 ABSTRACTHuman coronaviruses (HCoV) cause common colds but can also infect neural cell cultures. To provide definitive experimental evidence for the neurotropism and neuroinvasion of HCoV and its possible association with multiple sclerosis (MS), we have performed an extensive search and characterization of HCoV RNA in a large panel of human brain ...
