SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Intensifies Cerebrovascular Complications in Diabetic hACE2 Mice through RAAS and TLR Signaling Activation

Diabetics are more vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 neurological manifestations. The molecular mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2-induced cerebrovascular dysfunction in diabetes are unclear. We hypothesize that SARS-CoV-2 exacerbates diabetes-induced cerebrovascular oxidative stress and inflammation via activation of...
