Recent LJI studies have shown a fascinating connection between olfactory receptors in the cardiovascular system + immune cells and the risk of heart disease.
In a recent seminar, Dr. Marco Orecchioni shared his pioneering work showing that immune cells in your arteries can “sniff” out their surroundings and cause inflammation.

Wax Vanitas (c.1700) - intended to remind us of the certainty of death. One side features a skull with insects feasting on decaying flesh. The other side resembles Queen Elizabeth I. It reads: “vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”
This object is from the Wellcome Collection in #London.

Great story about gene therapy cures and insurance from Wired. Will insurers pay current costs?

@halama_immuno Yes - there is some hope here with a research emphasis on things like off the shelf CARTs
While a better solution does not arrive, we need more of this 👇

@JanNolta bringst up a burning topic: how will we as a society leverage the massive price tags of new therapies...especially if these therapies can lead to cures?

#IDMastodon Accumulated evidence 👉🏿 aetiology of #LongCovid is multifactorial, especially in elderly. LC can consist of a spectrum of health-related sx that present differently across individuals, these symptoms can have different rates of onset. #COVID19 might lead to an ⏫health burden, both directly from specific LC-associated sx & exacerbation of pre-existing health issues. @thelancet

"Developing countries are attuned to this need after many waited nearly a year for ample Covid-19 vaccine supplies as wealthy countries enjoyed an extended period of first dibs. Americans, for example, were offered third doses of #mRNA vaccines at a time when 98 percent of people in low-income countries had not received a single shot. Vaccine hoarding cost more than a million people their lives, according to a recent study in the journal #NatureMedicine."

'Most of Italy's schools lack mechanical ventilation systems. Instead, teachers are urged to keep windows open when weather conditions permit.
If the most efficient systems were installed "we could pass from 250 cases per 100,000 students (the alert level set by the education ministry) to a rate of 50 per 100,000," the Hume foundation and the Marche regional government said'
@ewanbirney This reminds me of a siege of Leningrad story that historian Dmitriy Myelnikov told me on the #EMBOPodcast. It's well known that #phage as medicine was very big in the USSR, but Dr Myelnikov said that in WWII they also tried putting phage directly in the water supply to avoid outbreaks of things like cholera
