"[STIMULATE-ICP] has completed successfully, with results expected towards late April or early May." STIMULATE-ICP trialled rivaroxaban, colchicine, and famotidine/loratadine www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Getting an appreciation for why biology is so hard from this graph of antibodies against ATR1, spanning nearly 6 orders of magnitude in LC patients and 4 orders of magnitude in HC, all kinds of values are normal apparently

Honored to be part of the congressional briefing on #LongCovid that @immunologyaai.bsky.social is hosting this Wednesday with @virusesimmunity.bsky.social & @ejohnwherry.bsky.social! If you can, please call your congresspeople and ask their staffers to attend! www.aai.org/Public-Affai...

women hate women and men hate women -> people hate women dems hate dems and republicans hate dems -> people hate dems is there something here

🎥 Today we’re launching our #FundThePlan campaign! With over a month until the delivery plan is finalised, ministers can still reconsider the resources behind it.  We want to show them why it is important to #FundThePlan. Share a video on social media using our template ⬇️

White Beak Sedge, Rhynchospora alba, on a nearby heath last summer. Day 20/365 #DorsetFlora

Grateful to continue to be able to do great work with the amazing team at @YaleMed, led by @VirusesImmunity and @hmkyale. Today one of our preprints dropped on what is a fraught and divisive topic: vaccine injury or post-vaccine syndrome (PVS). Before medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

Researchers from Wuhan University and Columbia University find that SA55, a monoclonal antibody, strongly neutralizes SARS-CoV-2, including JN.1 subvariants. Unlike pemivibart, SA55 resists viral escape, likely due to its stronger binding. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

My whole future depends on medical research continuing, but I want to comment on our side's inability to imagine motivations other than ours as anything other than evil - this failure of imagination and empathy, amongst other things, severely limits our ability to understand, predict, strategize

I was diagnosed with Dysautonomia/POTS via a tilt table test w/ my cardiologist, but I had never done a “5 Minute Stand Test” at home. 5 minutes laying, then 5 minutes standing, then 5 minutes laying. Proof is in the pudding, as they say. Textbook POTS right here. #dysautonomia #pots #wearlumia

A new review paper from Polybio on Targeting the SARS-CoV-2 reservoir in long COVID www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

I don’t think people could fathom living how people with my disease live. I haven’t seen the sky in 3 months. I only see it when I get wheeled out for appointments on a stretcher which is every 3-4 months. I have eaten the same 6 foods for almost 3 yrs now. EVERYTHING I do is in bed. This is MECFS.

I’ve said it before, but one of the most difficult things about #MECFS is that it can be impossible to predict how much recovery time you will need after you exert yourself. Recovery and return to baseline is so rarely consistent…

Really chuffed to be a co-author on this paper (pre-print) via Visible & Imperial College 💙 Odds of a crash 45% lower during late luteal phase compared to peak during menstrual phase www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... #MECFS #LongCovid

Absolutely fantastic news as sickle cell gene therapy is to be rolled out for sickle cell academia with a one off treatment curing 97% of patients 🧪

To advocates & policymakers in the #IACC space: Please check out this new report on data-driven insights and the case for much more attention on & funding for IACCs such as #MECFS & #LongCovid. Please share widely! So thankful to @mildtin.bsky.social for leading this incredible report 💙

Very excited to say that @crunchme.bsky.social's first report is out and about 🙌 The Future is a Policy Choice: Addressing Infection-Associated Chronic Conditions Our goal here is to bring together the key info needed to make the case for taking action *now*! drive.google.com/file/d/17fgU...

It’s Krish-mas Eve! Krishnan Guru-Murthy, journalist, broadcaster, presenter, and former #Strictly star, is #ThereForME! @krishgm.bsky.social's message: “Happy Christmas! Keep fighting! Lots of love Krishnan Guru-Murthy” @channel4news.bsky.social #PatientSafety #pwME #pwLC #ThereForME

Q for those MECFS with POTS/OI. I use salt tablets to increase blood vol. I’ve found if I take a salt tab with glass of water when I get up for toilet at 1-3am, then I sleep better 2nd half of night & feel less awful in morning. Anyone with similar/different experiences?

The NIH has announced $147 million in additional funding for RECOVER, and shared new details about how the new allocations this year ($662mil in total) will be spent: - $300mil to clinical trials - $18 mil to pathobiology - other funds to observational studies and maintaining research infrastructure

New paper in Science showing that a nutrient metabolism switch causes epigenetic changes in exhausted T cells Metabolic rewiring & T cell exhaustion have been seen in Long Covid and ME/CFS… would be great to see more research on immunometabolism in these contests! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better. All three statements are true at the same time. Understanding this is key to solving big global problems. We believe data & research can help us understand both the problems we face & the progress that’s possible. 🧵

It was only a few years ago that republicans were talking about death panels, please, understand that arguing a CEO is a mass murderer is one tiny step from arguing that the secretary of HHS is one too

Hitting some moderate -> severe ME milestones lately -- 3 months since I been outside, parents taking care of me, mum cut my hair at home
