All it took was a bank holiday for me to FINALLY paint my first #40k model in about 25 years. Turns out I still overdo it with the dry brush but 🤷♂️. One #genestealercults #aberrant down, the rest of a Combat Patrol to go.

So last night's #BookClub meeting was curious. Only four of joined and one hadn't read the book, #Aberrant by Czech novelist Marek Sindelka.
Two of us who had read it are native anglophones and read it in English. The third is a Ukrainian woman who read it in Dutch. At a certain point we realised that the Dutch translation (with the title Winter Verdriet - common term for Seasonal Affective Disorder) was a different novel entirely than the one Susan and I had read. #bookstodon 1/ -
Chertow’s research has already encouraged experimental use of antiviral medications such as Pfizer Inc.’s #Paxlovid to see if it can root out viral reservoirs and alleviate long-haul symptoms.
Even a relatively small number of infected cells could provoke the immune system to produce #inflammation, blood #clots and other problems associated with long #Covid, according to Amy Proal, co-founder of PolyBio Research Foundation, a non-profit in Boston that facilitates research into chronic, infection-associated conditions.
It’s “the most logical explanation because it accounts for pretty much everything else,” she said.
Henrich, who helped develop sophisticated imaging techniques that can pinpoint HIV within tissues, plans to use the same approach to find Covid’s hideouts.
Dozens of patients will undergo a series of whole-body scans that will look for signals of production or persistence of viral protein.
Those will be compared with symptoms to see how the lingering presence of the coronavirus correlates to long Covid.
The group has started scanning patients to look for protective T-cells that could indicate an #aberrant #immune #response to SARS-CoV-2. They’re examining biopsies of participants’ digestive tracts for viral vestiges, Henrich said.
