Long COVID-19 syndrome associated with Omicron XBB.1.5 infection: a case report
CONCLUSIONS: This case demonstrates that Long COVID-19 may develop even after mild disease due to SARS-CoV-2 in fully vaccinated and boosted individuals without comorbidities. Continued monitoring of new SARS-CoV-2 lineages and associated clinical outcomes is warranted. Measures to prevent infection should continue to be implemented including development of new vaccines and antivirals effective against novel variants.PMID:37851721 | PMC:PMC10581372 | DOI:10.1590/0074-02760230069 (Source: Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz)

Differences in responses to the intracellular macrophage environment between Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccine strains Moreau and Pasteur
CONCLUSION: Overall, our results show that, compared to Pasteur, BCG Moreau has increased fitness and better endurance in the harsh intracellular environment, also regulating anti-microbial responses (lower IL-1b and MCP-1). These findings contribute to the understanding of the physiology of BCG Moreau and Pasteur in response to the intraphagosomal environment in a THP-1 macrophage model.PMID:37851722 | PMC:PMC10581373 | DOI:10.1590/0074-02760230070 (Source: Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz)

Lipid droplets in Zika neuroinfection: Potential targets for intervention?
Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz. 2023 Oct 9;118:e230044. doi: 10.1590/0074-02760230044. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTLipid droplets (LD) are evolutionarily conserved lipid-enriched organelles with a diverse array of cell- and stimulus-regulated proteins. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that intracellular pathogens exploit LD as energy sources, replication sites, and part of the mechanisms of immune evasion. Nevertheless, LD can also favor the host as part of the immune and inflammatory response to pathogens. The functions of LD in the central nervous system have gained great interest due to their presence in various cell types in the...
