#Cortisone is highly effective at inhibiting the immune system – but how does it do it? A team from #CharitéBerlin & @FAU now shows @Nature that cortisone reprograms the metabolism of immune cells, activating a natural inflammatory “brake” present in the body. Based on their findings, the researchers now plan to develop anti-inflammatory treatments lower in side effects.

It’s good that they call it #LongCovid. Imagine the panic if they would call it #diabetes, #dementia, #asthma, #vasculitis or #rheumatism. People would maybe even start protecting themselves.

So let’s call it #PASC or reference some other conditions nobody ever heard about. Preferably those which can be discussed as psychosomatic.

Furthermore, their findings demonstrate that celastrol, the active compound found in the Chinese medicinal herb "Thunder God Vine", effectively hinders the advancement of the disease by inhibiting this protein complex."
