SARS-CoV-2 infection induces pro-fibrotic and pro-thrombotic foam cell formation - Nature Microbiology
SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to sustained increased macrophage numbers and formation of enlarged lipid-laden macrophages after viral clearance. This can be prevented with antiviral treatment in mice.

The Supreme Court just greenlit Donald Trump gutting nearly $800 MILLION for medical treatments and cures. Congress approved this funding for a reason: it saves lives. This is disgraceful, and families will suffer.
Call your Members of Congress to demand they protect the NIH & NSF budgets (proposed to be cut 40% & 60% which will devastate the future of science in this country). 5calls.org makes it easy with a script and phone # lookup for your MOCs: 5calls.org/issue/nih-ns... Keep calling as often as you can
