This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, will support research to investigate the potential mechanistic links between COVID-19 infection and the progression of Lewy body pathology and dementia. The $506,052 award, spanning August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025, will fund a study conducted by Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center-Shreveport. The research aims to determine if virus-induced genotoxic stress can accelerate the development of Lewy pathology and cognitive deficits, trace the spatial and temporal progression of virus-driven olfactory spreading of Lewy pathology, and dissect the causal role of virus-inflicted genotoxic stress in Lewy pathology and associated neurological deficits. The project promises to yield novel animal models, tools, and mechanistic insights into the interplay between viral infection, genotoxic stress, and autophagy-lysosome dysfunction in mediating the neuropathological interactions between COVID-19 and neurodegenerative disorders.
