Long COVID review links illness to accelerated biological aging
Original: · Large # LongCOVID review found mechanisms of “accelerated biological aging” in young adults [ https://www. sciencedire
A large review of Long COVID research has identified mechanisms consistent with accelerated biological aging in young adults, including epigenetic and cellular changes more typical of older people. The paper also cites findings of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells in 40% of people with Long COVID, suggesting persistent immune activity. Researchers say the work helps explain the broad, lasting symptoms reported by younger patients.
Why now: New published research offers a biological explanation for Long COVID, which affects many people and has no established cure.
