The BIG Cell Death review you need - big thank you to Vishva Dixit Kim Newton, Andreas Strasser and Nobuhiko Kayagaki for writing this as part of Cell's 50th anniversary special content on a field that has grown since ced-3/4 in worms! Read it tinyurl.com/4a3mcv39

In this prospective observational study, we examined changes in symptoms & immune phenotypes in vaccine-naïve people with #LongCovid after COVID-19 vaccination. Due to the timing of the initiation of this study, we were only able to recruit 16 people. However, the insights we…

Shimriz told us: 'As a student your obligation is to always ask questions and not take anything for granted. Don't believe even me, ask questions and you'll see what evil has happened here and should never happen again.'

UPenn faculty solidarity mission receives rock-star reception in Israel timesofisrael.com/upenn-faculty-… via @timesofisrael

#penn #upenn #penn faculty #mission #israel

I was glad to welcome today a solidarity mission of alumni and faculty members from the University of Penn.

Thank you for your visit and strong stand for Israel. You are on the frontline at a historically critical moment for the world at large and for academia. We must fight…

On New Year's Day, 2024, as war waged in Israel and Gaza, a group of professors from the University of Pennsylvania boarded an El Al flight to Tel Aviv. Representing fields as diverse as statistics, film, orthopedics, and law, they brought messages of friendship and support.

Have you ever read a paper that restores your trust in academic research? 🤓 Right now this Cell paper is the one for me!

The level of detail and pruning in this study is just outstanding 🤩

In the latest issue! Serotonin reduction in post-acute sequelae of viral infection dlvr.it/Sy554j

Several studies have pointed to biomarkers that may help doctors accurately diagnose—and hopefully treat—people with #longCOVID , including recent research led by Maayan Levy, Christoph Thaiss, Benjamin Abramoff, MD, and Sara Cherry, PhD. TIME spr.ly/6018u5GCK

New data provides a possible biologic explanation for neurocognitive symptoms associated with viral persistence in #LongCovid . Congrats to this impressive multi-disciplinary research team including ACS Research Scholar Maayan Levy. 👏

A new study identifies a link between #LongCovid and reduced serotonin. scim.ag/4tL

New research uncovers an explanation for some cases of #longCOVID —lower serotonin levels in some people with the condition. This serotonin reduction is triggered by remnants of the virus lingering in the gut, which could lead to long COVID symptoms. spr.ly/6012ukGhy

Fantastic new #longcovid research out today from a phenomenal interdisciplinary team showing more biological differences in a cross-species study. Congrats to Maayan Levy, Ben Abramoff and many other incredible scientists on this beautiful work.
