Mechanisms of sex differences in acute and long COVID sequelae in mice

Jennifer A. Liu, Sabal Chaulagain, Xinyi Xie, Patrick S. Creisher, Tianle Zhang, Maraake Taddese, Karly Shi, Han-Sol Park, Haley Hcnir, Arthur P. Arnold, Ralph Steven Baric, Natasha B Barahona, Elizabeth B. Engler-Chiurazzi, Kevin J. Zwezdaryk, Chloe L. Thio, , Sabra L. Klein

This study identifies sex differences in long COVID sequelae in mice, showing that X-linked genes like Xist and Tlr7 contribute to persistent inflammation and cognitive impairments in females.

Intermittent Cytomegalovirus Infection Alters Neurobiological Metabolism and Induces Cognitive Deficits in Mice

Mark A. A. Harrison, Sara L. Morris, Grace A. Rudman, Daniel J. Rittenhouse, Chandler H. Monk, Siva S. V. P. Sakamuri, MaryJane Jones, Md Mehedi Hasan, Mst Shamima Khatun, Hanyun Wang, Lucas P. Garfinkel, Elizabeth B. Norton, Chad Steele, Sangku Kim, Jay K. Kolls, , Kevin J. Zwezdaryk

This study shows that intermittent CMV infection in mice alters BBB metabolism and causes cognitive deficits, suggesting a potential role for pathogens in dementia progression.

Loss of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) enzyme activity in cerebral microvessels is coupled to persistent neuroinflammation and behavioral deficits in late sepsis

Divine C. Nwafor, Sreeparna Chakraborty, Allison L. Brichacek, Sujung Jun, Catheryne A. Gambill, Wei Wang, Elizabeth B. Engler-Chiurazzi, Duaa A. Dakhlallah, Anthony B. Pinkerton, José Luís Millán, Stanley Anthony Benkovic, Candice M. Brown

This study shows that reduced TNAP enzyme activity in cerebral microvessels during late sepsis is linked to neuroinflammation and behavioral changes like anti-nociception.
