So grateful for this Science Magazine piece by J Couzin-Frankel highlighting 2 studies - Jeroen den Dunnen's and our's by keyla sá et al (with Putrino Lab) showing that IgG from people with #longCOVID can transfer patients' symptoms in mice👇🏽 science.org/content/articl…

OK that was rad. We often get flyovers at the start of SFGiants games that go right over my home. Usually F15s from the California Air National Guard at Moffet Field, or a C130 from Travis AFB. But tonight, a U2 spyplane just overflew the house!

New UC San Francisco #LIINC paper: immune activation & viral persistence in tissue up to 2 years post-COVID. Found double-stranded RNA in #LongCOVID, suggesting active reservoir persists and evades immune clearance. Thanks PolyBio, NIH for support. Science Translational Medicine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Everyone still underestimates Paul Graham's theory that the more charismatic presidential candidate always wins, which has held true in every US election since they started doing televised debates in 1960 (with very rare exceptions) paulgraham.com/charisma.html

Our new UC San Francisco #FindCOVID/#LIINC paper in Nature Communications showing SCV2 burden in first 3 weeks of COVID predicts future #LongCovid. In addition to LC treatment trials, we need investment in studies to prevent LC! Zero US-based trials on prevention so far. nature.com/articles/s4146…

The preventable loss of a family-owned neighborhood small business, the kind of place San Francisco supposedly cares about. What say you, Matt Haney and London Breed ? sfstandard.com/2024/09/07/bay…

Our mechanistic review of #LongCovid - published in Cell - hopefully will be helpful coming out of the very inspiring RECOVER-Treating Long COVID meeting this week. Excited for the progress we will make together in the next year! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

When I tell this story, all Americans 🇺🇸 and most British 🇬🇧 don’t believe me. Italy 🇮🇹 cannot have startups by design. This is due many items, starting with the untranslable “studio di settore”. The 🇮🇹 tax authorities assume that given x company assets you MUST make a profit 1/5

Thanks everyone for the excitement and questions about our rapamycin trial for #LongCOVID. We will definitely share a protocol as soon as we can on the regular channels (clinical trials.gov, etc), but we are still waiting on some clearances from regulatory bodies 1/

before the protocol is fully confirmed. I’m sure many people have thoughts and lived experience about dosages and protocol, but when we’re starting something new like this we have to follow guidance from studies that have gone before, so that is what we’re doing right now. 2/

That said, we deeply appreciate again the interest and hope that this study has sparked and we will work to inform you ASAP on the protocol as soon as we get through the IND process with FDA. Thank you all 🙏🏻 /end
