How This Founder Went From Serving People With Lyme Disease To Serving The One In Three People With Chronic Conditions

Supporting entrepreneurs can take many forms from grants to providing access to capital and from expanding their networks of mentors and peers to providing training that addresses both hard and soft skills.

We report a case of acute neuroborreliosis that manifested as extended isolated cervical myelitis. Not only the manifestation as isolated myelitis in the early stages of borreliosis represents a rarity, but also the strong contrast between mild clinical symptoms and pronounced imaging findings in this case is remarkable.Case Rep Neurol 2020;12:276 –281

When we get an acute illness like the flu or a cold, we feel sick for a week or two and then get back to our usual lives. This is how illness is “supposed” to go. But what happens when illness doesn’t fit this bill? What do patients with chronic conditions like diabetes or multiple sclerosis, or with persistent symptoms of Lyme disease or long-haul COVID-19, do when they can’t go back to their normal lives? Having suffered from the latter two — tick-borne illnesses that have plagued me for two decades, and a case of COVID-19 that took four months to shake — I’ve learned a few lesso...

(Rutgers University) A tick species associated with bats has been reported for the first time in New Jersey and could pose health risks to people, pets and livestock, according to a Rutgers-led study in the Journal of Medical Entomology. This species (Carios kelleyi) is a " soft " tick. Deer ticks, which carry Lyme disease, are an example of " hard " ticks.

I read this paper published by a medical student about the lack of education provided at her medical school in identifying skin diseases in people with darker skin tones, and specifically how she was not taught how to identify the bulls-eye rash in Lyme's disease in darker skin tones where it would not be as visible. She mentioned that her professor had acknowledged that it would be more difficult to identify, but sort of brushed it off... Diversity in Medical Education?

Abstract Matching of symmetry at interfaces is a fundamental obstacle in molecular assembly. Virus-like particles (VLPs) are important platforms to generate vaccines against pathogenic threats including Covid-19. However, symmetry mismatch between multimeric antigens and VLP subunits can prohibit vaccine nanoassembly. Here we explore spontaneous amidation to establish principles for coupling VLPs to diverse antigen symmetries. SpyTag003/SpyCatcher003-mediated decoration enabled efficient VLP conjugation and extreme thermal resilience. Many people showed pre-existing antibodies to SpyTag:SpyCatcher, but decreased a...
