One of the craziest things I learned last week at #AAI2024 was that we have more free-floating extracellular mitochondria in our blood than white blood cells. This was not in any textbook that I ever read! sci.news/biology/cell-f… And the original paper: faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/fj…

"He woke up unable to move the left side of his body. He finally called 911 and woke up in the hospital, unable to remember what happened." Wrestling star Johnathan Gresham suffered two strokes, probably following a severe bout of Covid two weeks earlier wrestlezone.com/news/1573558-j…

Our new review is out! We detail mechanisms by which the viral, bacterial, parasite, and other pathogens that infect humans over a lifetime accelerate features of aging: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I know a lot of people are unhappy that Keystone paywalled the content, but on behalf of myself and Renegade Research, I'm happy to share a photo my poster from the conference on transient remissions from ME/CFS associated with antibiotics.

Incredibly exciting diagnostic tool potential — Michal Tal, PhD MIT team is doing nailfold capillaroscopies on #LongCovid patients before and after a NASA lean test, and said the results have been incredibly striking compared to controls. My results were very abnormal !

John Bailey thank you so much! This model fits me well and has protected me since 2020. The one time I got COVID is when I (stupidly) took my mask off around family for a Christmas. I learned a valuable lesson that day!

Greatness It's to protect myself, my immunocompromised partner, and those around me. Plus it brings out the blue in my eyes. 😁

Greatness Can you send me some links to these studies? I'd be curious to read them. It's anecdotal, but I have only been sick once since 2020, and it's when I didn't wear a mask around some people. I like not being sick, so I intend to do what I can to continue not being sick.

Greatness And there's some science to back up wearing a mask to protect others: Here's a DARPA-funded study just last year showing that N95 masks significantly reduced exhaled viral load: thelancet.com/journals/ebiom…

In hindsight KAMARU USMAN what a performance you put v Khamzat Chimaev

Can someone take the Ocean's 12 laser dance video, replace Vincent Cassel with Khamzat Chimaev to the track of "Thé à la Menthe" and replace the faberge egg with the UFC MW title #ufc319 UFC

Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of a cell. But that is a ridiculously incomplete description. A new study shows that human cells "weaponize" mitochondria during infection. Mitochondria ramp up their metabolism to deprive pathogens of folate, a molecule required for

Wtf, a lot of chronic low back pain may be due to bacterial infection
