TBE-virus way into brain

The study of how TBE-virus infacts the brain has combined different types of image analysis where whole mouse brains are imaged (follow the blue arrow) down to the cellular and subcellular level at the nanometre scale. This combined with gene analysis from individual cells allowed the researchers to find the mechanistic reasons why different cells became infected.

    Different cell types in the brain are affected by tick infection

    The dreaded tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus infects different types of brain cells in different parts of the brain, depending on whether the affected person's immune system is activated or not. This is shown in a new study at Umeå University, Sweden.
