A new study has identified the mechanisms through which the SARS-CoV-2 virus enters the brain and how the immune system responds once it does.
Using post-mortem tissue samples, researchers at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin in Germany identified that the SARS-CoV-2 virus enters the brain via nerve cells in the olfactory mucosa.
