Seeing is understanding. That's why we're working hard to build the next generation of biomedical imaging at @deeppiction.bsky.social. Because tomorrow's cures begin with seeing what was once invisible. #FluorescenceFriday #PrecisionMedicine

What if acute COVID seems gone, but parts of the virus aren’t? Our lab is using advanced imaging to see what conventional methods miss, and turn those discoveries into urgently needed #LongCOVID treatments. 🔬 The evidence 👇🏻

Check out the CA Department of Public Health’s recommendation. A reminder that an N95 in crowded airports and planes is a small inconvenience compared with an infection that might follow you home and stay much longer than your vacation. 😷 #LongCOVID #COVID.

One more nail in the coffin of the "it's just deconditioning" hypothesis. 60 days of strict bed rest ≠ #LongCOVID or #MECFS. Rob's group shows that while exercise capacity may be similarly reduced, the underlying skeletal muscle biology is VERY different. Time to move beyond outdated assumptions.

Science is full of surprises. We expect vascular loss during aging, but what if some brains instead become hypervascular, a state linked to inflammation & cognitive decline? Activating Tie2 path lead to reversed some pathology. Exciting #neuroscience!

Our review covering the major Neuroinflammatory events in Long Covid is finally online and open access here! www.nature.com/articles/s41... #NeuroCovid #LongCovid 🤓🧠

Excited to be serving on the International Abstract Committee for the 2026 ISLC-PAIS Conference in Amsterdam next month! If you have new findings on #LongCOVID, #MECFS, or #PAIS, don't miss the Late Breaking Abstract deadline on July 30. We'd love to see your work! islc-pais.org/abstract-sub...

This is not AI. This is real microscopy! 🔬 An intact gut, rendered transparent and imaged in 3D using light-sheet microscopy! 🤓 Looking inside organs to investigate where pathogens, immune cells, or disease processes may persist. More at: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Happy #FluorescenceFriday!

🧠 What if #LongCovid is, in part, a disorder of dopamine? Our new commentary explores how disrupted dopamine signaling may help explain fatigue, brain fog, and autonomic dysfunction, and what this could mean for future therapies. Open access link: shorturl.at/vLAfU

An intact human heart, rendered transparent. Because disease doesn't happen in 2D. Whole-organ tissue clearing and light-sheet microscopy reveal coronary vessels (magenta) and atherosclerotic plaques (gold) across the intact organ. More at: shorturl.at/iqTBh 🫀🔬 #FluorescenceFriday!

Most people who develop #dementia don't have a family history of the disease. Interactions between vascular health, metabolism, environmental exposures, and *increasingly* pathogens also play a role. Brain aging starts decades before symptoms appear. 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

How to avoid dementia — what the science really saysAmbitious studies have been examining the protective effects of diet, exercise and socializing — with surprising results.www.nature.com

I had fun editing these videos 😎 Whole-body imaging is really opening new possibilities for biology. Seeing the whole picture changes the questions we can ask, and ultimately the discoveries we can make. Read more: 🔬 DISCO-seq www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🚀 LipiGo www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The boulder may have contributed, but without pre-boulder functional data, we can't establish causality. Probably deconditioning. #LongCOVID #Ableism #Satire

Negative trials matter. This study successfully removed GPCR autoantibodies from #LongCOVID patients, but symptoms didn't improve. That challenges one autoimmune hypothesis, though not autoimmunity as a whole. Question: Does anyone know of other GPCR immunoadsorption studies underway?

In this systematic review and meta-analysis of 138,446 early-career researchers, nearly 1 in 3 reported clinically significant psychological distress, with rates of depression and anxiety 2–5 times higher than in age-matched peers 😖 #AcademicBluesky

Nothing else to say.

Nothing says "we should probably do something about this" quite like an extreme heat conference being canceled because it's too hot. 🫠🌡️

The study that NIH/CDC director Jay Bhattacharya blocked from publication in the CDC's journal because it showed clear benefits of #COVID19 vaccination has now been published in a far more respected journal. The science survived peer review. The politics didn't.

Biology was never meant to be studied in 2D. One of the coolest things about my new work is being able to visualize: 🧠 Neural circuits 🩸 Vascular networks 🎯 Drug biodistribution 🎗️ Disease progression Here's a small glimpse of what we're building at @deeppiction.bsky.social 🤩🔬 #3DImaging

As #HPV vaccine coverage continues to rise, cervical cancer deaths among young women plummeted. In the most highly vaccinated cohorts, deaths fell to ZERO. Among unvaccinated women, mortality rates barely changed. Vaccines save lives. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
