A 25-year-old woman with type 1 #diabetes started producing her own insulin < three months after receiving a transplant of reprogrammed stem cells.

She is the first person with the disease to be treated using cells that were extracted from her own body. https://t.co/rzQiizNM1s

The Best Scientists 🧵

I have heard a lot about the Best Scientists 🧑‍🔬

Maybe the best scientists...
make impactful discoveries,
publish in gilded journals,
garner millions in funding,
with lots of indirects.
And prizes, all the prizes🏆

And everybody respects them.

Wow. Long Covid people are missing naive T cells.

I wrote about the loss of naive T cells and the death of T cells being problematic in 2020 in frontiers

The emergence of Omicron is concerning but incredibly a new vaccine can be made in around 90 days should one be needed (boosters likely to offer protection). Antivirals will also work. If it’s more transmissible antigen testing becomes even more important.
