Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

Crucial paper published Friday that deserves much more attention in the #LongCOVID world: https://t.co/baSXgWXo80.

TLDR: 13/15 immunocompromised patients who had chronic COVID infections (>200 days) cleared the virus in under 2 weeks when given combo antivirals/monoclonals

By studying samples analyzed by the Curiosity rover, scientists have taken another step toward understanding whether life could have ever existed on Mars.

A new study suggests that non-biological sources cannot fully account for the abundance of organic compounds found in a sample collected by the rover.

I think a lot of long COVID sufferers are sleeping on high dose creatine supplementation. For me it's been helping SO MUCH w managing my crashes. Yesterday I did 5 hours of coaching calls. Normally, that would wipe me out for an entire day AT LEAST

@alexandrite113 I did 2+ months back in 2023 and had improvements

Preliminary findings from Simmaron Research’s Rapamycin trial in ME/CFS

- result from the first 40 participants who completed 3 months on it

- improvements seen in *every*
symptom scoring scale

@ryan49081185535 @Moooonflash @healingfromlc this is correct. A lot of studies have shown that if administered at low doses like 6g once weekly it strengthens antiviral gene expression, interferon response, improves T-cell exhaustion and thus can also support in controlling persistent viral infection.

“At least 2/3 of individuals with Long COVID contained [SARS-CoV-2] infected megakaryocytes,” says Dr. Morgane Bomsel. “This suggests that megakaryocytes form reservoirs in LC patients—which may produce platelets sheltering infectious SCV2.”

@Ivi81 Die Antikörper sind bzgl. Reaktivierung leider nur bedingt aussagekräftig. Würde jedenfalls einen PCR Test machen um Reaktivierung zu prüfen. Am besten nicht nur im Blut, sondern auch im Speichel - dort findet man es am ehesten.

A long course of Paxlovid appears to help some patients with #LongCOVID, according to a case series by UC San Francisco researchers that suggests this treatment option holds promise for some of those struggling with debilitating symptoms. 1/

@JacksonMacmanus @Stephen26699303 @AZ_Intel_ spoilers and reverse thrust seem deployed. not sure about the landing flaps though, they look like they're up?

🚨 Results of BC007 Phase 2 #LongCovid trial do not show evidence of superior efficacy of BC007 over placebo

Good to see they have confirmed results from our papers on fibrin: https://t.co/olkNkzOD0I including that spike protein binds to fibrin: https://t.co/jTC3VOgcfC

Our new paper is out @Nature We report that fibrin drives toxic inflammation, impaired viral clearance & neuropathology in #SARSCoV2 infection treated by #fibrin antibody

A new paper has lit up the longevity field. Removal of interleukin-11 improves health and extends mouse lifespan by up to 24%. Human therapies are being developed 🧵 https://t.co/1PTPgfSyKD

OOHHHH WOW! New preprint on the host immune response in Long Covid was just posted (few hours ago), and it's more significant than the 3-gene signature!

They found reactivation of viral herpes (EBV/CMV/HSV2) and CONFIRMED PERSISTENT SARS-CoV-2 INFECTIONS! Here's a summary...

Breaking!: Research published today in Science Translational Medicine and supported by PolyBio Research Foundation shows that the #SARS-CoV-2 virus can chronically persist in the gut of patients with long COVID for over 2 years: https://t.co/rYAT9BHKqe

I am increasingly worried about bird flu - it has pandemic potential

96 cow herds in 12 states
3 human cases so far - one with respiratory symptoms

This can and must be contained - if lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic are heeded

Stellar summary of a stellar study on #MECFS:

It all looks like the key to understanding ME/CFS lies in a dysfunctional (mostly absent) stress response. Upon extertion, the body tissues are thus left without protection and the immune system goes bonkers.
