A discovery in the muscles of long COVID patients may explain exercise troubles

Long COVID patients can experience severe energy crashes after physical exertion. New research provides clear evidence that there's a biolog

By taking biopsies from long COVID patients before and after exercising, scientists in the Netherlands constructed a startling picture of widespread abnormalities in muscle tissue that may explain this severe reaction to physical activity.

Among the most striking findings were clear signs that the cellular power plants, the mitochondria, are compromised and the tissue starved for energy.

"We saw this immediately and it's very profound," says Braeden Charlton, one of the study's authors at Vrije University in Amsterdam.

The tissue samples from long COVID patients also revealed severe muscle damage, a disturbed immune response, and a buildup of microclots.

"This is a very real disease," says Charlton. "We see this at basically every parameter that we measure."

Unrelated but I just wanted to show you guys this cool thing I did :3

hm. drawing things, i am.

creature in progress

perhaps some will disagree, but i think the world got worse when we changed the colour of the night

whomst the fuck are all these gatekeepers crawling out of their hidy holes to state their very wrong opinions on this poll. what communites are these results even from??

all octopi are technically venomous, but only the blue-ringed octopus is dangerous to humans (unless you're allergic to octopus venom, which seems unlikely).

and yeah, if the octopus doesn't feel threatened, it's probably gonna be curious and friendly. delightful creatures, it's sad they don't normally live for long.
