SUMMARY - Straight from the article itself, "Researchers at the |
|
Francis Crick Institute have shown in lab-based experiments that |
|
variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can |
|
affect the blood-brain barrier and damage brain cells in |
|
different ways." |
|
Also, "The wild-type virus [the original one from Wuhan] killed |
|
all cell types except astrocytes, whereas Alpha and Beta only |
|
killed pericytes, and omicron killed endothelial cells and |
|
pericytes." |
|
The article goes into further detail about these findings. |
