1/ Fantastic new preprint from
@resiapretorius.bsky.social @CallumThomas96 @DrMark_Faghy and co. This new study suggests that even light exercise may worsen #LongCOVID. by breaking up #microclots and triggering inflammation.

Ein sehr interessanter Preprint vom Team um @resiapretorius.bsky.social und @dbkell.bsky.social, der ein neues Licht auf die hier „PV/PIS“ genannte Entität wirft, an der bisher ja oft Weltanschauungen aneinandergeprallt sind.
1/2
These findings suggest that PV/PIS is characterized by persistent immune dysregulation and coagulopathy, with proteomic signatures only partially overlapping those previously reported in prior proteomics analysis on Long COVID samples collected prior to vaccination availability. Our results highlight the complex interplay between immune activation, endothelial dysfunction, and coagulation pathologies in PV/PIS, while also highlighting distinct differences between these systems in Long COVID and PV/PIS, paving the way for more targeted protein research in these conditions.

Thank you @thewhn.bsky.social, for giving me the best mentors in #LongCovid research!
@resiapretorius.bsky.social is one of them, and everyone should follow her pioneer work in LC and blood clots! Thank you for the microscopy tips!♥️🔬
