Different Covid Variants Affect Different Parts of the Brain

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.
