"Although vaccines do not prevent all cases of illness, they are known to dramatically reduce hospitalization rates. This evidence suggests that vaccination may mitigate some risk of developing #neurodegenerative disease."

In a new study, Angelika Harbauer & team found that insulin supports the recycling of dysfunctional mitochondria in neurons. Energy scarcity or interrupted insulin signals can lead to the continued use of defective mitochondria, which might affect neurodegenerative diseases.
