Recently there is a study of Long Covid in... China. Scientists utilized cryo-electron microscopy to examine myocardial biopsy tissue from long COVID patients and found severe damage to the mitochondria within the cells. This organelle impairment cannot be detected through routine examinations.show more

STUDY FINDS 82% OF PATIENTS RESOLVED THEIR LONG-VACCINE SYNDROME... WITH SUNLIGHT AND VITAMIN D Sunlight supercharges the regulation of THOUSANDS of genes and biological pathways. Another study found higher vitamin D was linked to less severe vaccine-induced heart damage.show more

A new study found COVID shot mRNA and spike... protein INVADE the human placenta and fetal cells, even in mothers vaccinated BEFORE pregnancy. 37% of placentas from COVID vaccinated mothers contained the LETHAL spike protein, and 30% had spike protein inside fetal immune cells.show more

A little preview of the "Long Covid Mode" mod,... which is a challenge mod created to shed light on how an estimated 65 million Long COVID patients worldwide are living life on a whole new level of difficulty. Full Showcase:show more

NEW: In response to orders by the Trump admin,... the CDC has taken down the Household Pulse Survey, one of the biggest and most important sources of Long COVID data in the world. The US government is literally erasing the existence of Long COVID.show more

Today on The Science and Experience of Energy, we... describe mysterious mitochondria-like particles that we found in blood and saliva using high-resolution electron microscopy. These particles had double membranes, and some had folds in the internal membrane—a feature that is unique to mitochondria. We don’t yet know what exactly these particles are or their purpose, but we're excited to learn more about them. The massive image database is the first of its kind—have a look if you want to see what circulates in the human blood. Thanks to NIH and Baszucki Group who've supported our work, this resource is freely available to everyone.show more

The cycle of life, every instant, in your mitochondria.... The major electron carrier in mitochondria is NAD+. When it collects an electron from the food you eat, NAD+ is converted into NADH. NADH then feeds the electron to the electron transport chain so the electron can flow to oxygen - the ultimate electron acceptor. How easily electrons make their way to oxygen determines energy resistance (éR) following the energy resistance principle (ERP) Mitochondrial matrix and cell cytoplasm are two different "sealed" compartments, but there is a special system that connects the NAD+/NADH pools between mito and cytoplasm: the Malate-Aspartate shuttle The Malate-Aspartate shuttle shown below is how NADH from the cytoplasm (made by glycolysis) is carried into mitochondria. The electron transport chain can then regenerate NAD+ by respiring the flowing electron. Everywhere in biology: energy transfer. Sometimes without molecular carriers. Here with a number of enzymatic intermediates, creating an integrated electrical circuit. The circuit is in service of the flowing electron looking for a place to rest. Getting back onto oxygen to become H2O (water) again, as it was initially before getting ripped off by light energy and stuck onto a carbon backbone in a green leaf.

⚠️ I can’t overstate how CATOSTROPHIC this Ice Storm... could be if the models are even half right. 🧊The Model AVERAGES are showing around 1 inch of Ice Accumulation from Texas, through Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, and into the Carolinas. Some Models (like the generally reliable Euro Model) even have a crippling 1-2" of Ice accumulating there. 🧊 To put Ice amounts into perspective: 🧊0.25” – Highly disruptive. Iced roads, scattered power outages, tree and line damage. 🧊0.5” – CRIPPLING. Severe tree damage and widespread, long-lasting power outages. 🧊1” or more – Catastrophic. Infrastructure failure, impassable roads, and weeks-long power outages. ⚠️ This is why this setup is so concerning. A prolonged, multi-day freezing rain event would lead to disastrous ice accumulations. 🙏 Let’s hope the models are overdoing this, because if they aren’t, the South could be in serious trouble. Don't panic yet. There is still time for trends to change. I'll be live at 7:00pm ET to talk through this. Hang in there. I'll help get you through this my brotherenshow more

Why not show real data instead of a 2D... cartoon? Left diagonal: computationally separated 3D volume-rendered movies at 15 sec intervals for 19 minutes of chromosomes, mitochondria, and the ER in the same field of dividing pig kidney cells. Middle diagonal: overlapped color channels computationally sliced in slabs through the volume to reveal internal structure and interactions throughout mitosis. Upper right: zoomed in view in one slab, showing organelle rearrangements in the left cell from metaphase through telophase.show more

JUST IN: A hospital in China has reported a... major breakthrough in treating severe heart failure using reprogrammed stem cells to help restore damaged heart muscle with 90% of patients showing significant recovery in heart function after the novel therapy. ✓ Key results after 12 months: • 90% of patients showed major improvements in heart function and daily activity • Patients nearly doubled their walking distance compared with the control group • No major tumors or serious long-term complications were reported • 2 patients experienced temporary rapid heartbeats, which resolved on their ownshow more
