Study suggests SARS-CoV-2 virus enters the brain by using cells in the nose to make nanotube tunnels

by Bob Yirka, Medical Xpress SARS-CoV-2 can reach SH-SY5Y neuronal cells from Vero E6 permissive cells. Infected Vero E6 cells (donor cells) were cocultured with SH-SY5Y neuronal cells previously stably transfected with a vector that expresses mCherry (acceptor cells). Coculture was fixed at 24 and 48 hours. (A to G) Confocal micrographs showing 48 hours...
