Long COVID Breakthrough: Spike Proteins Persist in Brain for Years
Long COVID Breakthrough: Spike Proteins Persist in Brain for Years
“A study reveals that the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 remains in the brain long after infection, causing potential neurological issues and accelerated brain aging. mRNA vaccines help lower this risk but are not completely effective in eliminating the protein.”

“Using the golden hamster as a model, we provide further evidence that SARS-CoV-2 is neuroinvasive and can persist in the central nervous system, as we found viral RNA and replicative virus in the brainstem after 80 days of infection.”

Long COVID: SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulation linked to long-lasting brain effects
Long COVID: SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulation linked to long-lasting brain effects
“The study shows that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein remains in the brain's protective layers, the meninges, and the skull's bone marrow for up to four years after infection. This persistent presence of the spike protein could trigger chronic inflammation in affected individuals and increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.”
