COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

Very important study and more evidence that #NeuroCovid can contribute to neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. When they say 'it's all in your head', they might be trying to be dismissive, but are accidentally being very realistic.

Happy #Thanksgiving friends! I might have missed my flight to Paris and might be sleeping in the Amsterdam airport, but at least I am wearing the appropriate socks for the occasion!😅

Finally met @buonsenso.bsky.social in person and got an update from one of the best researchers in #LongCovidKids. Kids with hypometabolism in the orbitofrontal cortex, the same region of the brain where I see the virus in the🔬. It is not even fully developed until we reach 25 years old..

Keep in mind, we could have already advanced so much in this field if, for political reasons, mRNA vaccines were not severely attacked over the past 5 years. We are closer than ever to a cure for #MultipleSclerosis, and that involves preventing #EBV from damaging the brain.
Common virus jab could be key in fight against multiple sclerosis
The vaccine will be trialled in patients recently diagnosed with MS

Thank you to an amazing community, me and other microscopists were able to chase this down and remove it online! But their Instagram account, with over 56K followers and a lot of stolen material, is still online. Can you help us by reporting it to Instagram?

Not only my photos are being stolen now, people are selling them under someone else's name😡😡. I intentionally never sold my images for profit. Check the photos below. Mine is in the left, the stolen one in the right. Does someone knows how to sue them?

There is a lot of good research and amazing people working on #LongCovid in Europe! Yes, the road is long, but after today, I feel my hope is restored. Some of my favorite moments from today's meeting at the National Institute for Infectious Diseases Lazzaro Spallanzani in Rome:

Brain microscopy with annotations for better understanding ☺️! What if we take a deep dive into the cerebral sulcus? The grey matter has the neurons' cell bodies🔵, and while microglia🟣are more evenly distributed, astrocytes🟡 shape changes in the white matter. #Neuroscience #Microscopy 🧠🔬

More and more Neuroscience shows that building muscle makes your brain more resilient to adversity by improving its ability to handle stress. I decided to experiment on myself. 3 months of strength training 3-4 per week. Daily 2g of protein/kg and 10g of creatine. Never felt better 💪

I love how the laws of nature don’t care about ideology or politics: gravity, cancer biology and virology behave the same no matter who’s in office.
Cutting investment in this type of discovery will only slow down scientific progress and relocate it, but will not stop it.

When science and medicine work together to improve people's lives the results are so impressive 🤩! This is a deep-brain stimulation surgery to implant electrodes in specific areas of the brain that control movement, in this case, allowing a #Parkinson's patient to keep playing 🎼

Testing some new antibodies to identify oligodendrocytes 🟣, for me, the most difficult one to target in brain microscopy! Here I was able to identify its nuclei (oligo2 marker), not the whole cell body like neurons 🟡or microglia 🔵. Still, you can see oligos are everywhere! #Neuroscience #Microscopy
