"The unique qualities of the SNAP adjuvant system enabled simple conversion of protein antigens into immunogenic particles that safely induced virus-neutralizing antibodies. We look forward to further study of this technology for the prevention of COVID-19 and other diseases."

Jonathan F. Lovell

"namely the beneficial role of Estrogen Receptor modulators, especially raloxifene, in preventing some of the infection side-effects and support raloxifene use for both therapy and vaccine side-effects mitigation."

Marcello Allegretti

"Eventually, the overall evidence provides a solid rationale for some previously published results[7] obtained by our team,"

Marcello Allegretti

"Our study provides a comprehensive assessment of the long-term neurologic consequences of COVID-19,"

Ziyad Al-Aly

"Past studies have examined a narrower set of neurological outcomes, mostly in hospitalized patients. We evaluated 44 brain and other neurologic disorders among both nonhospitalized and hospitalized patients, including those admitted to the intensive care unit. The results show the devastating long-term effects of COVID-19. These are part and parcel of long COVID. The virus is not always as benign as some people think it is."

Ziyad Al-Aly

"We’re seeing brain problems in previously healthy individuals and those who have had mild infections,"

Ziyad Al-Aly

"It doesn’t matter if you are young or old, female or male, or what your race is. It doesn’t matter if you smoked or not, or if you had other unhealthy habits or conditions."

Ziyad Al-Aly

"It is definitely important to get vaccinated but also important to understand that they do not offer complete protection against these long-term neurologic disorders,"

Ziyad Al-Aly

"These problems resolve in some people but persist in many others,"

Ziyad Al-Aly

"At this point, the proportion of people who get better versus those with long-lasting problems is unknown."

Ziyad Al-Aly

"It’s unlikely that someone who has had COVID-19 will just get Alzheimer’s out of the blue,"

Ziyad Al-Aly

"Alzheimer’s takes years to manifest. But what we suspect is happening is that people who have a predisposition to Alzheimer’s may be pushed over the edge by COVID, meaning they’re on a faster track to develop the disease. It’s rare but concerning."

Ziyad Al-Aly

"There have been several studies by other researchers that have shown, in mice and humans, that SARS-CoV-2 can attack the lining of the blood vessels and then then trigger a stroke or seizure,"

Ziyad Al-Aly

"It helps explain how someone with no risk factors could suddenly have a stroke."

Ziyad Al-Aly

"Our study adds to this growing body of evidence by providing a comprehensive account of the neurologic consequences of COVID-19 one year after infection,"

Ziyad Al-Aly

"In our current study, we provide evidence that the pocket remained the same in all deadly coronaviruses, from the first SARS-CoV outbreak 20 years ago to Omicron today. We have shown previously that linoleic acid binding to this pocket induces a locked spike, abrogating viral infectivity. We also show now that linoleic acid supplementation suppresses virus replication inside cells. We anticipate that future variants will also contain the pocket, which we can exploit to defeat the virus."

Christiane Schaffitzel

"When we realised that the pocket we had discovered remained unchanged, we looked back and asked whether SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, two other deadly coronaviruses causing previous outbreaks years ago, also contained this linoleic acid binding pocket feature."

Christine Toelzer

"We studied the effect of the virus on the brain’s immune cells, ‘microglia’ which are the key cells involved in the progression of brain diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s,"

Trent M. Woodruff

"We found the cells effectively became ‘angry’, activating the same pathway that Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s proteins can activate in disease, the inflammasomes,"

Trent M. Woodruff

"So if someone is already predisposed to Parkinson’s, having Covid-19 could be like pouring more fuel on that ‘fire’ in the brain,"
