Neuro-Axonal Damage and Alteration of Blood–Brain Barrier Integrity in COVID-19 Patients

Neuro-Axonal Damage and Alteration of Blood–Brain Barrier Integrity in COVID-19 Patients

Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a specific biomarker of neuro-axonal damage. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-dependent enzymes involved in blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity. We explored neuro-axonal damage, alteration of BBB integrity and SARS-CoV-2 RNA presence in COVID-19 patients w...
