“A neuroinflammatory process that can occur in response to a virus, an anti-virus vaccine, like any toxic process, contributes to the penetration of the virus through this barrier. There is a response - in particular, from microglia (cells of the central NERVOUS SYSTEM responsible for maintaining connections between other nerve cells.), which perform a protective function in the brain, ”explained the expert.
On the one hand, it should defeat the virus. On the other hand, a local inflammatory process triggers the process of impaired excretion of the amyloid protein, which provokes Alzheimer's disease, Gaifutdinov specified.
