Not all brains age the same🧐🧠

Using whole-brain 3D imaging combined with spatial proteomics, @erturklab revealed multiple trajectories of cerebrovascular aging. A fascinating new study:

I'm always excited to share great work from my colleagues! #Neuro

Important study published today investigating why some people develop #LongCovid

The most striking finding is a massive disconnect between the humoral (B-cell) and cellular immune (T-cell) response in Long COVID patients.
In summary, these two systems should work together to take care of the virus: the B-cells attach themselves to viral particles to block the virus from entering the cell, while the T-cells kill cells that get infected.

These two systems are coordinated in the recovered COVID patients but not in the Long COVID patients.
Half of the Long COVID patients who produced coronavirus-specific T-cells produced no antibodies to the virus.
Putting all the pieces together, Long Covid patients present a highly inflammatory state, probably driven by immune dysregulation.

With 3 ongoing big NIH-funded T-cell studies underway (Mark Davis at Stanford, Selin-Gill Harvard, Derya Unutmaz at Jackson labs), T-cells are potentially a big deal in ME/CFS. We need to remain optimistic about it!

See this thread: Supernova in the Making.

Betelgeuse, the 10th brightest star in the sky, is seen losing 36% of its brightness, a change noticeable even to the naked eye. A vast amount of its material has been lost. It’s believed to be the eve of a supernova.

So it seems not only one college. I suspected this is a much deeper problem 4 years ago.

Today @TorontoStar and @StCatStandard launch our investigative series "The Price of Admission" - deep dive into the state of international student education in Ontario, the rise of a large temporary workforce, questions about English testing, the dream of a new life in Canada.
