I’m honored to be featured in a Yale News article discussing our work showing that autoantibodies from #LongCOVID patients can induce neurological phenotypes in mice, providing evidence for a causal role in disease. Read: news.yale.edu/2026/05/28/y... #Autoimmunity #Neuroimmunology

Excited to share our study in Cell! Using passive transfer experiments, we found that autoantibodies from Long COVID patients can induce neurological and pain-related phenotypes in mice, supporting a causal role in disease. cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092… #LongCOVID #Autoimmunity

Important #LongCovid finding of auto-antibodies in patients directed to neural tissue, and then, by transferring the antibodies, recapitulated the disease symptoms in mice @CellCellPress @VirusesImmunity @putrinolab cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092…

Excited to share our study by @keylas3 et al. on pathological autoantibodies in people with Long COVID. We asked whether IgG in patients with Long COVID bind to human tissues/antigens and cause pathologies when transferred into mice. With @PutrinoLab doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2026.…

So grateful for this @ScienceMagazine piece by @jcouzin highlighting 2 studies - @DrDenDunnen's and our's by @keylas3 et al (with @PutrinoLab) showing that IgG from people with #longCOVID can transfer patients' symptoms in mice👇🏽 science.org/content/article/…

Excited to have this amazing new #longcovid work out in the world thanks to an always amazing team and with continued gratitude for our collaboration with @VirusesImmunity 👯‍♀️ Please check out Akiko’s comprehensive tweetorial on the preprint, and I’ll add just a few comments. 1/
Sharing our new study by @keylas3, @SilvaJ_C, Rafael Bayarri Olmos et al (with T. Horvath & @PutrinoLab) showing that a passive transfer of IgG from patients with #longCOVID into mice recapitulates ⬆️ pain and other symptoms 🧵 (1/) medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

From a @PlzSolveCFS presentation, @PutrinoLab discusses an unpublished finding from @keylas3 and @VirusesImmunity: mice some exhibit balance and sensory issues (sounds like POTS and SFN?) after being injected with IgG from human Long Covid patients youtu.be/F3Sv9tfu_ww?si=PmDt…

Essa pergunta embora pareça simples e fácil de responder ao aluno com um conjunto de “dedique-se, passe nas matérias, aprenda inglês, faça IC”; não é simples assim. Há inúmeras pedras no caminho que podem facilmente impedir o sucesso de pessoas capazes. cienciaquenosfazemos.org/pos…

Rare cases of #myocarditis post-#COVID19 vaccine caused by generalized immune response – not #antibodies created by the #vaccine, researchers incl. @lucasite_lab,@VirusesImmunity and @InciYildirim11 say in @SciImmunology. @YalePediatrics @YaleEMD @YaleIBIO bit.ly/420uuWt

Muito legal a reportagem do Andre Julião (Agência FAPESP) sobre nosso artigo recentemente publicado na Nature Commun. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…. O artigo demonstra que parasitos do gênero Leishmania subvertem as funções de Gasdermina-D para evitar a morte dos macrófagos.

Parasita da #leishmaniose manipula defesa do organismo para continuar se replicando, mostra estudo. Divulgada em @NatureComms por pesquisadores da @usponline, a descoberta abre caminho para novos tratamentos. agencia.fapesp.br/41156/

When we and others including PJ Utz's group saw autoantibodies skyrocket with SARS-CoV-2 infection, it raised alarm bells for exactly this possibility. It will be important to see what the hazard ratios look like post vax/prior infection. "Unfortunate legacy" indeed.

“Imagine the fear… everyone says you should be better by now. Instead, every day, you wake up feeling like death: a sign that you’re in uncharted territory. How could you still—4 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 months after you first got sick—feel this bad?” #LongCovid yalealumnimagazine.org/artic…
