Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Long COVID: The Microclot-NET Study
A 2025 study found neutrophil extracellular traps tangled into microclots in Long COVID. What the paper measured, what it found, and what it can't prove.
Amyloid-Beta Antimicrobial Peptide: Amyloid as an Immune Defense
Is amyloid-beta an antimicrobial peptide? How amyloid works as immune defense, what Meytal Landau's lab showed, and where spike protein fits in.

COVID Vaccine Harms: What the 2025 JPandS Review Argues
A plain-language walkthrough of the 2025 JPandS review on COVID vaccine harms: what it claims, which sources hold up, and where the evidence is weak.
Neutrophil Elastase and Spike Protein: How Amyloid Forms
Neutrophil elastase cuts SARS-CoV-2 spike into amyloid-forming fragments. A plain-English walkthrough of the 2022 JACS study and what it does not show.
DNase and NET Clearance in Long COVID: Why Microclots May Persist
COVID-19 can lower DNase, the enzymes that clear NETs. What the DNase research means for lingering microclots in Long COVID, and what's still unproven.
