Crosstalk Among Disrupted Blood-Brain Barrier, Neuroinflammation, and Coagulopathy in AC70 hACE2 Tg Mice with Prolonged Neurological Manifestations Induced by the Omicron BA.1 Variant of SARS-CoV-2

Aleksandra K. Drelich, Panatda Saenkham, Yu-Hsiu Wang, Xuping Xie, Barbara M. Judy, Thomas G. Ksiazek, Bi‐Hung Peng, Chien-Te Kent Tseng

This study investigates prolonged neurological effects in AC70 hACE2 Tg mice infected with Omicron BA.1, showing BBB disruption, neuroinflammation, and coagulopathy contribute to long-COVID-like symptoms.

Characterizing neuroinvasion and neuropathology of SARS-CoV-2 by using AC70 human ACE2 transgenic mice

Jason C. Hsu, Panatda Saenkham, Pinghan Huang, Cássio Pontes Octaviani, Aleksandra K. Drelich, Bi‐Hung Peng, Chien-Te Kent Tseng

This study investigates SARS-CoV-2 neuroinvasion via the trigeminal nerve in AC70 human ACE2 transgenic mice, finding it as an efficient route with altered neuronal function and gene expression but limited tissue pathology.
