  • Summary

  • In this episode of the Long COVID Clinical Podcast, hosts Andrew Schamess and Anita Chopra discuss recent research on Long COVID at Ohio State University. They are joined by Dr. Amal Amer, a Professor of Microbial Infection and Immunity, and Dr. Heba Amer, who works in Dr. Amal's lab. Dr. Amal shares her personal experience with Long COVID and details her research on the inflammasome and caspase-4/11, proteins linked to severe inflammation and cognitive issues in Long COVID. The discussion highlights the relationship between these proteins and the inflammatory response, potential coagulopathy, and how this research could lead to new treatments. Dr. Heba Amer describes using an advanced behavioral testing system for mice to study cognitive dysfunctions related to Long COVID. The findings offer promising avenues for drug discovery and a deeper understanding of Long COVID's pathology. Additionally, future research plans and the importance of correlating mouse model data with human samples are discussed. The episode concludes with optimism about ongoing and future research efforts.
