The wonderful team from Linköping Univ have a preprint with follow-up experiments showing how Spike amyloids hamper fibrinolysis. We were right in 2021 already. Some clinicians who SAW sticky blood in ICU’s, chose to ignore it. It was a mistake. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Indications that rapamycin can improve clinical symptoms in ME/CFS. I suspect that rapamycin is also treating potential senescence and suppressing senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs), particularly of endothelial cells, as proposed here: preprints.org/manuscript/202…
Thrilled to be co-author on this preprint with @CallumThomas96 and lead @DrMark_Faghy from @DerbyUni! Callum spent time in my lab @StellenboschUni. Check out the compelling findings with @JanPretorius98 @dbkell @drmassimonunes researchsquare.com/article/rs-671…
Awesome collaboration and can't wait for the next one! Thanks for your hard work and time spent on this project, @CallumThomas96 congratulations!
A new preprint from our @DerbyUni x @StellenboschUni Long COVID research team has now been published. Findings suggest that exercise may worsen symptoms in Long COVID due to microclot fragmentation. [link to preprint]: researchsquare.com/article/rs-671…
And now it's my turn to return home!
A fantastic week in The Netherlands comes to an end with collaborators @DrDenDunnen and @RobWust. Imaging flow cytometer method established for research here on microclots. Transmission electron microscopy dabbled in 😀Watch this space!
First day of research collaboration discussions and brainstorming; also finalising research paper with the @RobWust team (preprint coming soon!); and planning our next experiments. Tomorrow, lab work with team of @DrDenDunnen
What an excellent start of the trip of @resiapretorius to #longcovid research in Amsterdam! Looking forward to a full week of collaborations with @DrDenDunnen and others!
Groundbreaking xenotransplantation: surgeons successfully transplant a genetically modified pig liver into a human, marking a significant step toward addressing organ shortages and extending lives. Crazy!
