Our new study shows that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulates & persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull-meninges-brain axis, potentially driving long COVID. mRNA vaccines help but cannot stop it๐ฌ๐ง ๐ฆ ๐งต๐@cellhostmicrobe cell.com/cell-host-micrโฆ
A great study out in @CellCellPress and glad to be part. It shows that specific liverโsecreted factors LBP, ITIH3 and IGFBP1 drive muscle wasting and systemic metabolic disruption in cancer cachexia, revealing potential therapeutic targets.
Amazed to share our new study published in @CellCellPress revealing how the liver contributes to weight loss in cancer via disruption of a circadian regulator and secretion of catabolic factors. Big thanks to @FiskerSchmidt, S. Herzig, @BerrielDiaz ๐งต๐ cell.com/cell/fulltext/โฆ
Cancer Cachexia: Liver Identified as Active Driver of Body Wasting ๐ t1p.de/eh136 Up to half of all #cancer patients experience #cachexia โ a severe syndrome marked by dramatic loss of muscle, fat, and even heart tissue. It is a major cause of therapy resistance,โฆ
