There's a lot more in the discussion tying together a lot of the culprits we consistently see, including changes in responses to lipids, macrophages, oxidative stress, etc. Huge thank you to Katerina Akassoglou Jae Kyu (Jae) Ryu Zhaoqi Yan and team for working on this!! #LongCovid 4/

Possible Treatment for Damage from COVID-19, and Long COVID Using a Monoclonal Antibody Called 5B8 The nature paper “Fibrin drives thromboinflammation and neuropathology in COVID-19” discusses the role of fibrin in COVID-19 and its complications, particularly how it contributes

This looks to be a massively important paper that could explain many aspects of what's happening with COVID-19. It will undoubtedly trigger a whole spectrum of further studies. nature.com/articles/s4158…

An absolutely remarkable #Covid paper from UCSF. What did they find? 1. Fibrin binds spike protein 2. Forms proinflammatory blood clots 3. Clots drive systemic thromboinflammation & brain pathology, including #LongCovid 4. NK cell loss is seen & explains increase in #cancer

“The 5B8 anti-fibrin antibody was found to block many of these pathological #LongCovid effects.. reducing thromboinflammation & neurodegeneration. Fibrin's suppression of NK cell activity further highlights role in.. potentially impairing viral clearance”news-medical.net/news/20240829/…

A very important paper is out in Nature on the role of pathological coagulation in Long COVID. Spike protein causes thromboinflamation by binding to fibrinogen, the soluble blood protein that converts to fibrin, the central component of blood clots. That inflammation in turn

Researchers including Jae Kyu (Jae) Ryu, Zhaoqi Yan, & Katerina Akassoglou show that fibrin binds to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, forming proinflammatory blood clots that drive 🚗 systemic thromboinflammation and #neuropathology in #COVID19. 👉 go.nature.com/47csbTM

Cautiously optimistic, but this seems like a big discovery. It was always the blood. It felt that way, and research is slowly but steadily confirming it. news-medical.net/news/20240829/…
