My grandpa used to say “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” The 1st time I was old enough to get it, I said “That’s not fair!” He said “Exactly! So make it your life’s work to ensure everyone meets each other.” He’s 2 decades gone, but I’m still at it. #advocacy #MedEd

Dr. Tim Henrich presented new findings surrounding long term persistence of SARS-CoV-2 proteins & RNA in Long COVID gut tissue at PolyBio’s recent Spring symposium. “We actually see [gut viral persistence] in both areas, the epithelium—which turns over every several days to week—to the lamina propria where you have long-lived myeloid immune cells… suggesting there may even be replication in some individuals,” said Henrich. Using a highly sensitive method of detecting viral RNA, “around 20-25% of the time, we see detection… all the way up until 3-4 years after initial infection” in Long COVID patients.

Fresh off of #ASCO26, I'm compelled to share more about how NCI-funded research fuels progress. Our #YourNCI initiative describes how @theNCI—through critical funding and hands-on science across the cancer continuum—advances research, leading to better outcomes for patients.

New JAMA Network Open study: 📊 Long COVID prevalence estimated at ~16% 🏥 58 U.S. hospitals 🤖 AI-based EHR phenotyping ⚠️ Diagnosis codes alone missed many cases The burden of #LongCOVID is likely much larger than initial data suggest. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

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.…

Researchers estimate long COVID could cost the US more than $8 billion by 2027. At least 44 million Americans have reported symptoms, with lost work productivity driving over 90% of the economic burden. fortune.com/2026/05/24/long-…

'STORM' is a short documentary about Scott Hugo. A story of Long COVID's impact on his life and family - a reminder of what is at stake in research on Long COVID. His resilience humbles me. Please watch and share 🙏🏼 youtu.be/rLtXh28Eejw

I am not loving this trend of AI generated infographic explanation of pivotal clinical trial data. Many of them are straight up wrong as they aren’t peer reviewed or even created by an expert in that cancer type. Be CAREFUL when using these to learn about data and look at the source. #bcsm #breastcancer

11:10 am ET—Resia Pretorius discussed several new papers that help establish the process of microclot formation in Long COVID & Post-Vaccination Syndrome. One study demonstrated variable proteomic clotting-related signatures between LC & PVS, including inverted PF4 & S100-A9 levels between the conditions.

Fantastic piece from @VirusesImmunity. Thank you for always having the courage to stand up for what is right even when it might be “inconvenient”. You’re an inspiration to our team and to so many others. Proud to be a friend and collaborator 🙏🏻🥹

New study: Long COVID is tied to a higher risk of heart disease, even after mild infection. The study also reveals that women with long COVID experience more heart problems than men. Read more: ow.ly/kofG50YHftc
