TL;DR

A study by the University of Illinois Chicago has identified a mechanism behind cognitive impairments in mice with COVID-19 and tested a gene therapy that improves symptoms by enhancing blood-brain barrier integrity. The research offers hope for preventing post-COVID-19 cognitive issues in humans and suggests that improving blood-brain barrier integrity could have benefits in preventing complications of COVID-19.
