I was initially a bit excited about this paper - I liked the idea of it. But I don't think there is much here. A lot of the paper is actually...
That was my impression too - swamping the existence of post-Covid ME/CFS with a version of the 'well, we're all tired [but most of us just get on...
It sounds to me as though these channels aren't vascular; a very recent finding...
Just as aside, it's a bit sobering to read about a mutation in the Covid virus that makes it infect mice. I'm not sure if that's just a lab thing...
Spike S1 protein triggers proteomics changes in the mouse skull marrow, meninges, and brain They did similar sorts of things with the mice,...
So far, this is a nicely written paper - it's quite straightforward for such technical things. From a German team. Proteomics profiling of...

Thinking about this overnight, this study makes me a bit angry. We are all so desperate; if anyone made cryotherapy easy to access and affordable...
I see most of the authors are based in California, but the last author, Veronica Muller, has a Hungarian connection: School of Medicine, American...
Yes, I agree. Trying to refine criteria when we don't even have basic epidemiology, let alone biology, is mostly wasting time. I'd prefer it if...
How could they get that so wrong? It just takes a quick google e.g. Long-term sequelae following previous coronavirus epidemics, 2021
Discussion I'm not sure that they can conclude this, because I don't know how long they had the participants report PEM and other symptom effects...
Sample selection We've seen these extreme losses in screening from Polish research before. Of the 238 people excluded, 180 did not meet (even)...
