COVID-19 link: Microglia dysfunction, IL-1, IL-6 inflammation tied to neuro issues via autopsy insights. #BrainHealth 💡 PMID:40050441, Nat Neurosci 2025, @NatureNeuro https://doi.org/10.1038/s41593-025-01871-z #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA 🧪
Microglia dysfunction, neurovascular inflammation and focal neuropathologies are linked to IL-1- and IL-6-related systemic inflammation in COVID-19 | Nature Neuroscience
COVID-19 is associated with diverse neurological abnormalities, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. We hypothesized that microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain, are centrally involved in this process. To study this, we developed an autopsy platform allowing the integration of molecular anatomy, protein and mRNA datasets in postmortem mirror blocks of brain and peripheral organ samples from cases of COVID-19. We observed focal loss of microglial P2Y12R, CX3CR1–CX3CL1 axis deficits and metabolic failure at sites of virus-associated vascular inflammation in severely affected medullary autonomic nuclei and other brain areas. Microglial dysfunction is linked to mitochondrial injury at sites of excessive synapse and myelin phagocytosis and loss of glutamatergic terminals, in line with proteomic changes of synapse assembly, metabolism and neuronal injury. Furthermore, regionally heterogeneous microglial changes are associated with viral load and central and systemic inflamma

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

Trump is making all of us more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Firing the next generation of weather and climate scientists will cost this country dearly. Remember every time you need a weather forecast, tornado warning, or hurricane map.

I've been working on the PROOF Threat Index—which ranks the Top 100 threats to our democracy—and working through exactly where to put each of the right-wing Supreme Court Justices (or whether to even put all of them in the Top 100).

I decided last week that all had to go in. Looks like I was right.
Chief Justice John Roberts on Wednesday night said that the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department did not need to immediately pay for more than $1.5 billion in already completed aid work.
