Neurological sequelae of long COVID: a comprehensive review of diagnostic imaging, underlying mechanisms, and potential therapeutics by Grant McGee Talkington, Grant McGee Talkington, Paresh Kolluru, Timothy E. Gressett, Timothy E. Gressett, Saifudeen Ismael, Umar Meenakshi, Mariana Acquarone, Rebecca J. Solch-Ottaiano, Amanda White, Blake Ouvrier, Blake Ouvrier, Kristina Paré, Nicholas Parker, Amanda Watters, Nabeela Siddeeque, Brooke Sullivan, Nilesh Ganguli, Victor Calero-Hernandez, Gregory Hall, Michele Longo, Gregory J. Bix, Gregory J. Bix, Gregory J. Bix, Gregory J. Bix

“…In this review, we explore the mechanistic hypotheses of these neurological changes, which describe CNS invasion, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier disruption, and gut-brain axis dysregulation, along with the novel vascular disruption hypothesis that highlights endothelial dysfunction and hypoperfusion as a core underlying mechanism. …”

Gene networks for use in metabolomic data analysis of blood plasma from patients with postoperative delirium by V. A. Ivanisenko, N. V. Basov, A. A. Makarova, A. S. Venzel, A. D. Rogachev, P. S. Demenkov, T.  V. Ivanisenko, M. A. Kleshchev, E. V. Gaisler, G. B. Moroz, V. V. Plesko, Y. S. Sotnikova, Y. V. Patrushev, V. V. Lomivorotov, N. A. Kolchanov, A. G. Pokrovsky

“…While it is known that neuroinflammation, neurotransmitter imbalances, disruptions in neuroendocrine regulation, and interneuronal connections contribute significantly to the development of POD, the molecular, genetic mechanisms of POD in cardiac surgery patients, along with potential metabolomic diagnostic markers, remain in adequately understood. …”

Biomarker combinations from different modalities predict early disability accumulation in multiple sclerosis by Vinzenz Fleischer, Tobias Brummer, Muthuraman Muthuraman, Muthuraman Muthuraman, Falk Steffen, Milena Heldt, Maria Protopapa, Muriel Schraad, Gabriel Gonzalez-Escamilla, Sergiu Groppa, Stefan Bittner, Frauke Zipp

“…ObjectiveEstablishing biomarkers to predict multiple sclerosis (MS) disability accrual has been challenging using a single biomarker approach, likely due to the complex interplay of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Here, we aimed to investigate the prognostic value of single and multimodal biomarker combinations to predict four-year disability progression in patients with MS.MethodsIn total, 111 MS patients were followed up for four years to track disability accumulation based on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). …”

APOE Christchurch enhances a disease-associated microglial response to plaque but suppresses response to tau pathology by Kristine M. Tran, Nellie E. Kwang, Claire A. Butler, Angela Gomez-Arboledas, Shimako Kawauchi, Cassandra Mar, Donna Chao, Rocio A. Barahona, Celia Da Cunha, Kate I. Tsourmas, Zechuan Shi, Shuling Wang, Sherilyn Collins, Amber Walker, Kai-Xuan Shi, Joshua A. Alcantara, Jonathan Neumann, Duc M. Duong, Nicholas T. Seyfried, Andrea J. Tenner, Frank M. LaFerla, Lindsay A. Hohsfield, Vivek Swarup, Grant R. MacGregor, Kim N. Green

“…Conclusions These findings highlight the ability of the ApoeCh variant to modulate microglial responses based on the type of pathology, enhancing DAM reactivity in amyloid models and dampening neuroinflammation to promote protection in tau models. …”

Positron emission tomography molecular imaging for pathological visualization in multiple system atrophy by La Dong, Rui Zhou, Jinyun Zhou, Ke Liu, Chentao Jin, Jing Wang, Chenxi Xue, Mei Tian, Hong Zhang, Yan Zhong

“…Its key pathological hallmark is the abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein, which triggers neuroinflammation, disrupts both dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic systems, and results in metabolic abnormalities in the brain. …”
