📰 Long COVID can seriously disrupt daily life, fatigue, brain fog & breathlessness are common. An article from
@uk.theconversation.com explains that daily tasks & socializing heavily impacted, with quality of life 23% lower. Read further 👇

Long COVID is more than fatigue. Our new study suggests its impact is similar to a stroke or Parkinson’s
Long COVID isn’t just a bunch of lingering symptoms. A new study shows it can stop peoole doing what they want to do, and need to do.

☀️ Wrapping up August with new #Epigenetics insights on #LongCOVID

1️⃣ Shared DNA changes link Long COVID & ME/CFS with unique patterns explaining illness length

2️⃣ Severe COVID alters gene activity temporarily, reversing with recovery

🧬 How can the same DNA create different cell types? Epigenetics controls gene activity without changing DNA! The IHEC maps these patterns with the EpiAtlas—helping unlock clues to diseases. Register to our free seminar June 18 at 14:30h! 👉 forms.office.com/e/v2UBF4gfUe

🧬 What is Epigenomics and why does it matter?

It’s not just our DNA that shapes who we are, it’s how that DNA is turned on/off in each cell. That control system is called epigenetics, and it plays a huge role in health, development, and disease.
