Unraveling the complexity of 'Long-COVID' and its impact on breathing

More than a third of COVID-19 patients experience long-lasting symptoms, known as post-COVID-19 condition or long COVID, with breathlessness being a commonly reported symptom. Pulmonary complications, such as fibrosis and thromboembolic disease, require careful assessment, and non-pharmacological interventions like pulmonary rehabilitation can help manage breathlessness.

Researchers discover key immune mechanism that helps control inflammatory response to infection

Monash University researchers have discovered a key mechanism in the body's immune system that helps control the inflammatory response to infection. The discovery could help pave the way for more targeted therapies in a range of inflammatory conditions, such as autoimmunity and neuroinflammatory disease.
