Fantastic Long Tran !! Many congratulations! Dr. Indira Mysorekar

Many people have no idea how these things work.

For example, right now, as a Brazilian, I can't accept invitations to speak at conferences in Europe because my visa to work in the U.S. has expired.
I am not illegal; I have a work contract with the University of California until

Your pioneering research not only advances science but also serves as a guiding light for young researchers like me, inspiring them to dream big and push boundaries. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor!

Many congratulations 🎊

Leaky blood-brain barrier in long-COVID associated brain fog

This study confirms everything I have seen in the microscope over the last few years.
They use a technique called dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), an imaging technique that can measure

Myelin and Covid
I often post high-magnification photos, so sometimes it is hard (even for me in the microscope) to have an idea of the big picture of the damage that a microorganism like #SARSCoV2 can cause in the brain.
The photos below are a comparison of the same region in

SARS-CoV-2 persistence can cause Long Covid.

Long Covid can be diagnosed using two biomarkers of chronic viral infection.
- FYN (immune-signaling marker of ongoing infection)
- SARS-CoV-2 antisense RNA (viral reproduction intermediate)

A SARS-CoV-2 infection can make you age fast.

C-19 patients have increased epigenetic aging and shortened telomeres compared to healthy individuals, and that these changes are more pronounced in severe cases and in patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome.
