Next step in our son's #longcovid journey is to address various blood flow and brain / stem issues. Could be inflammation related, could be connective tissue related ... so much more to learn.

Meanwhile, the 2nd largest reinsurer in the world says 175,000 Americans may die because of Covid in 2025, and the U.S. response is to impose tariffs to prop up our domestic #casket industry. 🙃

Karikó Katalin Kariko words are more inspiring than ever. She won the 2023 Nobel Prize for the development of the mRNA vaccines that saved millions of lives from #COVID. Now, 'mRNA' and 'COVID' are on the list of forbidden words that researchers can't use in the U.S. anymore.

Got a DM from a guy who wrote to me to say that I don't deserve to be called an 'American scientist'. I am a Brazilian (south AMERICA) working for many years in the U.S (north AMERICA). My dude, I am DOUBLE-AMERICAN, I am violently American.

Astrocytes🔵 reacting to B-amyloid🟣 accumulation in the Human Neocortex. One of the hallmarks of #Alzheimers and other neurodegenerative conditions. What if viral infections increase the accumulation of these and other misfolded proteins in the brain? 🤔🔬#FluorescenceFriday

The best students in our Lab came from the 'Accelerated Development of Aging Researchers' program. I can't express how heartbreaking it is to witness this destruction. Where do they expect the next generation of aging researchers to come from? biology.ucdavis.edu/news/dean-how-…

How do neurons know their final position in the brain? Using a combination of chemical signals & physical guidance by radial glia 🟡. My favorite cell type in the brain is also temporary! After cortical development, most will transform into astrocytes. Nuclei of cells in🔵#SciArt

How many people are still getting #COVID and developing #LongCovid after visiting hospitals? Preventing infections in areas frequented by the most vulnerable individuals should be obvious. Clean air is an essential public health infrastructure, not a luxury.

A new study shows that air cleaners can reduce up to 98,1 % of viral load in the air of a #COVID patient's room with confirmed positive airborne viral RNA. Rooms with HEPA ventilation had zero virus detected. 👏 #CleantheAir in hospitals and schools!👏 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Trump’s war on science is an attack against anyone who has ever loved someone with cancer. The American people do not want us to slash cancer research in order to give more tax breaks for billionaires.

"Why do you want to study #LongCovid, focus only on aging and Alzheimer's disease, and your career chances will be higher." The same advice was received by the winner of this year's Breakthrough Prize, who revolutionized the treatment of #MultipleSclerosis.

This is our paper! Read more here: alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al… In non-human primates, a tau-targeting vaccine prevented the progression of #Alzheimer by improving memory and motor function, while reducing brain atrophy with no major side effects. Clinical trial is the horizon.

So #FluorescenceFriday is still being acquired. Spoiler: neurons, neurons everywhere! Will post the final result later 😁🔬🧠

This #FluorescenceFriday became a #SynapticSaturday! Checking the expression of different proteins in the neocortex. 4 markers below: SMI32🟡 for the large pyramidal neurons, calbindin, a calcium-binding protein in 🟣, Neun for neuron nuclei in 🟢. Dapi 🔵for nuclei of all cells.
