In this episode of Following Science, we explore two groundbreaking studies that offer new insights into the long-term effects of COVID-19.

signalingFirst, we dive into a recent study revealing how the signalling moleculeinterferon-gammaa (IFN-γ) might contribute to chronic symptoms of long COVID, such as breathlessness and brain fog. Discover how this finding could pave the way for targeted treatments.

Next, we examine research on how severe lung infections from COVID-19 can indirectly damage the heart, even without direct infection. Learn about the potential implications for treatment and the broader impacts of systemic inflammation.

Join us for an in-depth look at these critical discoveries and their future directions in medical research.
