Majority of fruit fly immunity studies can be replicated, huge analysis finds

Researchers found that in mice, the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein triggers microglial senescence and cognitive impairment by disrupting mitochondria and shifting energy use toward glycolysis.

Blocking glycolysis reversed the damage.
