1 of 3 Long Covid: Mast Cell Activation

Send us Fan MailThere is an activated condition of mast cells in long COVID-19, with abnormal granulation and excessive inflammatory cytokine release. A study by Weinstock et al. indicates that patients with long COVID-19 suffer the same clinical syndrome as patients with mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS).   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10166245/#:~:text=There%20is%20an%20activated%20condition,cell%20activation%20syndrome%20(MCAS).Mast cell activation triggered by SARS-CoV-2 causes inflammation in brain microvascular endothelial cells and microglia  https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/cellular-and-infection-microbiology/articles/10.3389/fcimb.2024.1358873/full  Detoxing from the spike protein and the role of MCAS Dr Tina Peers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzl93aUtRR0Mast Cell Activation Syndrome : The Interplay Between Immunity and Neuroinflammation Dr. Tania Dempsey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9w0VeJkACI8&t=18sHypoxia regulates human mast cell adhesion to fibronectin via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway  https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19336918.2020.1764690#d1e253 Playlist: Histamine & Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)  Dr. Paul Anderson https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3Tsd5WqoummfmUrdXHzA3tS8oRCxShtG Playlist:Histamine & Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)  Dr. Paul Anderson https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3Tsd5WqoummfmUrdXHzA3tS8oRCxShtGThis is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets EmpathyIndependent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter.  Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas. Support the showDisclosure: This podcast uses AI-generated synthetic voices for a material portion of the audio content, in line with Apple Podcasts guidelines. We make rigorous science accessible, accurate, and unforgettable.Produced by Michelle Bruecker and Scott Bleackley, it features reviews of emerging research and ideas from leading thinkers, curated under our creative direction with AI assistance for voice, imagery, and composition. Systemic voices and illustrative images of people are representative tools, not depictions of specific individuals.We dive deep into peer-reviewed research, pre-prints, and major scientific works—then bring them to life through the stories of the researchers themselves. Complex ideas become clear. Obscure discoveries become conversation starters. And you walk away understanding not just what scientists discovered, but why it matters and how they got there.Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter.  Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.Spoken word, short and sweet, with rhythm and a catchy beat.http://tinyurl.com/stonefolksongs
