The underlying cause of Long COVID is still a puzzle to researchers. But Akiko Iwasaki, PhD, Sterling Professor of Immunobiology and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at Yale School of Medicine (YSM) and co-lead investigator of the Yale RECOVERY and Yale LISTEN studies, has theories. Iwasaki explains that Long COVID is an “umbrella term” and likely has “multiple mechanisms that are not […]
The search for biomarkers could eventually lead scientists to tests and treatments By Meghan Rosen, MARCH 4, 2024 Science News When I talk to immunologist Paul Morgan, he’s on the hunt for potentially life-altering drugs. He’s got a call with a pharmaceutical company planned in the next half hour. His goal: persuade the company to supply his lab […]

May 17, 2024, American Society for Microbiology Since the COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has caused unexplained, chronic, post-infection symptoms in survivors. The phenomenon, known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection or “Long COVID,” surfaced shortly after COVID-19 testing was introduced to the public, and doctors began noting a pattern of onset of chronic fatigue and dysautonomia in patients […]
Ingrid Didriksson, Attila Frigyesi, Martin Spångfors, et. al. Abstract Background Long-term outcomes after critical COVID-19 have not been sufficiently studied. This study aimed to describe changes in functional outcome and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessed at 3 and 12 months in a cohort of critically ill COVID-19 survivors. A secondary aim was to investigate factors associated with good functional outcome and […]
Scientists say that drugs that calm a key part of the immune system should be studied in clinical trials as potential long Covid treatments. Long Covid impacts some adults’ blood biomarkers, new study finds Jan. 18, 2024, By Barbara Mantel, Science Scientists have identified a persistent change in a handful of blood proteins in people with […]
