Science News—In some people with long COVID, powerful immune players called T cells seem to go out of whack. In some long COVID patients, T cells that recognize SARS-CoV-2 can become exhausted, Nadia Roan's team reported in Nature Immunology in January. And scientists know that tired-out T cells can have trouble wiping out infection.

San Francisco Chronicle—At least 10 percent of those who survive COVID continue to face debilitating symptoms months after the acute infection resolves. New research from the laboratory of Gladstone Senior Investigator Nadia Roan shows that individuals suffering Long Covid have a dysregulated immune response to the virus and evidence of T cell exhaustion, which may be due to the virus persisting within their bodies.

Fortune—Researchers are investigating the possibility that people who suffer from Long COVID might be at elevated risk of developing cancer. Melanie Ott, director of the Gladstone Institute of Virology, explains that viruses related to SARS-CoV-2 have been shown to inactivate oncosuppressor proteins, which may predispose patients to cancer.
