some exciting research

A promising article for possible further tests and hopefully eventually better treatments. medicalxpress.com/news/2023...

What is really really interesting (and not mentioned in that article but easy to find) is that there is a crossover with long-Covid. If it turns out (not clear yet) that the anti-net pathology is a significant feature in long-Covid (which is probably in reality several different covid-triggered conditions) we could see treatments developed far far more quickly. It's out of the headlines now but there are an awful lot of people with long covid, I think it's a much bigger market than us which means a lot more funding that we might in effect piggy-back on.

I posted Dr Knight speaking about this connection here, some time back.

my hematologist was part of this research and he told me about the results in December. He presented similar data at the American hematology conference late last year.

He has been studying a lot of data about patients with severe covid and the presence of APLs. Here is his paper published on the matter. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

Hematologist ( Lee) is Yale and Dr Erkan is at HSS
