BREAKING NEWS 2025 💣💯

SARS-CoV-2 variants are not simply competing with each other, but are in fact WORKING TOGETHER in a COOPERATIVE MANNER !!! 🤔
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10…Image
2) This study looked at how different versions of the COVID-19 virus, called variants, have evolved over time. The researchers found that these variants are not just competing with each other, but are actually working together. Image
3) As new variants emerge, they take in and use the genetic changes (mutations) from previous variants, rather than completely replacing them. This suggests the variants are building on each other's changes, not just trying to beat each other. Image
4) The study also showed that the combination of mutations in each variant helps balance out the extreme effects that individual mutations can have. This indicates the variants are working together to maintain a healthy balance, not just one variant dominating. Image
5) Another key finding was that the variants adapt to different seasons and locations in a coordinated way. The genetic signatures (haplotypes) of the variants became disconnected across regions due to seasonal changes. Image
6) This implies the variants are adjusting to environmental conditions together, not competing for a single environment.

Overall, the researchers conclude the variants exhibit "cooperative evolution." The accumulation of mutations creates a complex but balanced landscape ... Image
7) ...suggesting the variants are evolving together as a connected population, not just outcompeting each other.

In summary, the COVID-19 virus variants are not simply competing. They are working together by building on each other's changes, balancing extreme effects, and ... Image
8) ... adapting to different environments in a coordinated way. This cooperative evolution allows the virus to rapidly diversify and adapt as a united population.

Thanks for reading 🙏 and happy safe year 2025 😷 Image

NIPAH VIRUS
Jumping to conclusions during outbreaks only fuels panic and misunderstanding; NOT EVERY VIRUS OUTBREAK is a PANDEMIC.

We raised the alarm about Nipah in 2023, but it’s essential not to confuse an epidemic related to this virus, ... Image
2) ...like the one in India, with a pandemic risk or a situation like COVID-19.
Nipah virus is transmitted primarily from animals, especially bats, to humans. It spreads through direct contact with infected animals, their secretions, or contaminated foods.
3) Human-to-human transmission occurs only through close contact, such as touching or caring for an infected person, as well as sharing fluids like saliva or blood.
We cannot equate a virus transmitted through fluids with a respiratory virus like SARS-CoV-2. Image

"70% to 90% of our CELLS are completely RENEWED in less than 5 YEARS!
So If we’re mostly "New", why are so many still struggling with SARS-CoV-2?

We will tackle this question, which is more complex than it seems, in several posts. Image
2) First, let's say a few words about cell renewal.
70% to 90% of our cells are renewed over time. This turnover occurs in various cell types, including skin, blood, and immune cells, allowing the body to replace damaged or aged cells.
sciencefocus.com/the-human-body…Image
3) For instance, red blood cells have a lifespan of about 120 days, while skin cells regenerate every few weeks.
Even with significant cell renewal, aging persists due to changes in our DNA.

UNRAVELING CO-INFECTION:
How SARS-CoV-2 and Other Viruses Interact ?
(In layman's terms)

Two groundbreaking studies exploring the complex dynamics of viral co-infection!
biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Image
Image
2) Co-infection occurs when a person is infected by more than one virus at the same time. This can lead to interesting and sometimes complex interactions between the viruses Image
3) In one study about SARS-CoV-2, researchers found that when different versions of this virus infect the same person, they can mix their genetic material through a process called recombination. This means that the new version of the virus can have traits from both parent viruses Image

ENVELOPE PROTEIN and LONG COVID

For more than three years, we have been emphasizing that the envelope protein is an essential component and that we cannot limit our focus to just the spike protein. We are now uncovering its role in long COVID. Image
2) Here are some insights on the E protein and its role in long COVID, as discussed in this recent study.
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12…Image
3) The Envelope (E) protein of SARS-CoV-2 plays a crucial role for several reasons:

▶️ Virus Assembly and Release: The E protein is essential for the virus's assembly and budding from infected cells, contributing to its stability and infectivity.

LONG COVID : Sticky Microclots in the blood !

Recent research may have identified a key factor contributing to long COVID: microscopic clots intertwined with immune system debris in the blood. These unusual structures were found to be nearly 20 times more prevalent ... Image
2) ...in long COVID patients compared to healthy individuals. The clots, associated with neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), suggest a potential biological marker for persistent symptoms. Image
3) These microclots could impede blood flow in small vessels, leading to issues like brain fog, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Image
