Our results indicate that [COVID Spike proteins] can [...] cause lipid vesicle leakage and exhibit increased toxicity to neuroblastoma cells
and
our findings raise compelling questions about the potential role of SARS-CoV-2 infection in accelerating or triggering neurodegenerative diseases linked to protein amyloidosis
...
Emerging evidence suggests that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection may have long-term deleterious effects on the central nervous system and even contribute to post-COVID neurological syndromes
...
Several theoretical and experimental studies have suggested that certain proteins from the SARS-CoV-2 virus can promote, either directly or indirectly, the formation of amyloid aggregates. For instance, the S1 domain of SARS-CoV-2, which includes the fragment S194, has been shown to interact with αSyn, inducing the formation of protein aggregates capable of causing synaptic damage and cytotoxicity
...
H1N1 infection has been reported to [...] increasing susceptibility to neurodegeneration
