Our work on human fetal brain haemorrhage and SARS-CoV-2 is out in @Brain1878! We show that cortical haemorrhages in the fetal brain are associated with the presence of SARS-CoV-2, reduced blood vessel integrity and increased immune cell infiltration https://t.co/yYTpbBMaeu 1/3

People have long thought that astrocytes release something that kills neurons, which could partly explain why neurons die in injury/neurodegenerative disease. In a paper that just came out, we think we found one of these long-sought toxic factors! (1/8) https://t.co/QlYp0smM6Q
