While this study qualifies its statement about inferred causation, it is good to see some numbers and molecular data that depicts correlation and hints at the relationship and potential impact of ACE inhibitors (common anti-hypertensive drugs).
We see increased expression of ACE2 for highly infected individuals at the site of infection, especially interesting since clinical metadata shows that ACE inhibitors are a potential infection risk factor for the millions of people taking them, even accounting for age & sex /6
@Qlarity1@MarissaFalk@SEIU Grad students make way less than what a resident makes. Residents make the same or a little bit more than a post doc generally does. All three are cheap labor.
I think I've become more "social" since the quarantine.
I've had packed weekends full of video calls and board game nights for the last 2 weeks, as opposed to sitting at home and watching a movie/reading a book on most of my other weekends so far.
So for the next couple of days I am going to introduce my team, especially the members on Twitter. First is Guha Asthagiri Arunkumar @Guha_Arunkumar. He is a PhD student currently expressing SARS-CoV-2 proteins and mAbs for ELISAs. If there is no pandemic.....
So it’s official. We’re number one in the world for coronavirus cases, even surpassing China which has more than 4 times as many people as the United States. That’s because despite spending more money on healthcare than anyone else, we have one of the worst health systems around.
#COVID19#SOS To my professional colleagues & anyone out there who can help; we are seriously low on BSL-3 PPE. COVID-19 research will be compromised if we run out of them. #FaceShields#EyeProtection (googles), #Disposable booties, anything for additional barrier of prevention.
Am I the only one who goes to bed every night convinced that my mild throat scratch is the beginnings of coronavirus only to wake up with a wave of huge relief that it's gone?
Decided to reduce everything I’ve learned caring for people with #COVID2019 in the last weeks down to a single page. Hope this can be useful #FOAMcc#FOAMed for others. #ICUonepage
Apart from his really cool work , Dr. William Hahn made some really excellent points about hypothesis generating science today at #AACRMOD20 looking forward to using @CancerDepMap soon. #cancergenomics
