Leishmania amazonensis infection induces IL1β-dependent hyperalgesia, while dampening mechanical allodynia in C57BL/6 mice

G. Pérez, Emanuelle Vasconcellos de Lima, Leticia S. Antonio, E Vidal, Raíssa Rilo Christoff, Milla Bezerra Paiva, Antônio José da Silva-Gonçalves, Márcia Pereira de Oliveira, Maria Bellio, Robson Coutinho‐Silva, Robson da Costa, Rodrigo Tinoco Figueiredo, Julia Rosauro Clarke, Herbert Leonel de Matos Guedes

This study investigates nociceptive changes in cutaneous leishmaniasis using C57BL/6 mice, finding IL-1β contributes to thermal hypersensitivity while structural changes cause mechanical desensitization.

SARS-CoV-2 spike protein induces long-term TLR4-mediated synapse and cognitive loss recapitulating Post-COVID syndrome

Fabrícia Lima Fontes-Dantas, Gabriel Gripp Fernandes, Elisa Gouvea Gutman, Emanuelle Vasconcellos de Lima, Leticia S. Antonio, Mariana Beiral Hämmerle, Hannah P. Mota-Araujo, Lilian C. Colodeti, Suzana Maria Bernardino Araújo, Talita Nascimento da Silva, Larissa Araújo Duarte, Andreza Lemos Salvio, Karina Lebeis Pires, Luciane Almeida Amado Leon, Cláudia Cristina Ferreira Vasconcelos, , Cláudia Pinto Figueiredo

The paper shows that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein causes long-term cognitive and synaptic damage in mice, and a TLR4 genetic variant is linked to worse cognitive outcomes in post-COVID patients.
