Long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on human brain and memory | Cell Death Discovery

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants have caused several waves of outbreaks. From the ancestral strain to Omicron variant, SARS-CoV-2 has evolved with the high transmissibility and increased immune escape against vaccines. Because of the multiple basic amino acids in the S1-S2 junction of spike protein, the widespread distribution of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor in human body and the high transmissibility, SARS-CoV-2 can infect multiple organs and has led to over 0.7 billion infectious cases. Studies showed that SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause more than 10% patients with the Long-COVID syndrome, including pathological changes in brains. This review mainly provides the molecular foundations for understanding the mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 invading human brain and the molecular basis of SARS-CoV-2 infection interfering with human brain and memory, which are associated with the immune dysfunction, syncytia-induced cell death, the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 infection, microclots and biopsychosocial aspects. We also discuss the strategies for reducing the Long-COVID syndrome. Further studies and analysis of shared researches will allow for further clarity regarding the long-term health consequences.

Penumbra of emotions…by Magic Mixture – Magic Mixture

In the shadow of emotions

Some feelings sneak up

Resentment, hurt, frustration

Pretending, hate, spite

Let’s pull the curtains

let the light in

the sun rise

the soul enlighten

We are what we grow…

It’s hard, I know

but it is possible

believe, insist

Many have already said

with every reason

With our deep thought

We can move the world!

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Eu não tenho filosofia: tenho sentidos…

Se falo na Natureza não é porque saiba o que ela é.

Mas porque a amo, e amo-a por isso,

Por que quem ama nunca sabe o que ama

Nem por que ama, nem o que é amar…

Alberto Caeiro
