Abstract:
The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic concerns risk to human health, particularly its potential association with protein misfolding and amyloidosis. This review article explores the causality relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection, and protein misfolding, leading to amyloid-related conditions. It delves into the mechanisms by which viral proteins may accelerate amyloid formation, exacerbating post-infection complications, including neurological sequelae. Drawing from interdisciplinary research and clinical observations, the potential links between COVID-19, vaccination, and amyloidosis, emphasize the importance of understanding the longterm effect of post-COVID symptoms. This review examines the potential role of COVID-19-related proteins in the formation of amyloid in other related proteins of amyloidosis.
