Delighted to help out on this in-depth analysis of early drivers of Long-Covid, heroically led by Aimee Hanson Iron is needed for so many biological activities, when it’s in the wrong place it can cause big problems- phenomenon may not be limited to SARS-CoV-2

Published in Nature Immunology research finds that low iron levels resulting from infection could be key trigger of long COVID Congratulations to Aimee Hanson, The Drakesmith Lab & colleagues at #CITIID Cambridge University | MRC WIMM | University of Bristol | WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) go.nature.com/3wCLCXs


Love the figure in your Commentary Oriana Marques !


A long time ago my first and formative research experience was with Hironori Funabiki in Kyoto. He was absolutely marvellous then and he still is today, in a London pub. And now he likes iron, a bit. Thank you Hiro!




Aw thank you Susanna Dunachie - I suspect many folks have been very afraid..

Glad you enjoyed it Isidro Abreu and great to have a botany guy in the house!

Getting tooled up with props for this! @World_of_Wade Oxford Earth Sciences will bring his rocks

Wonderful to see this out, a big effort led by Alexandra Preston and fun for the lab to do something new (and very very old) nature.com/articles/s4146…
