#complement

Had this article shared with me today: https://fortune.com/2025/02/11/ai-impact-brain-critical-thinking-microsoft-study/

I went through an array of #emotions. At first, I found it #awkward and #discomforting. I made jokes:

Wait, you mean people aren't thinking #critically and growing #cognitively because the #digitalization of the world is doing it for them....and it's making them (gasps) #dumber!!?? #AI is making it worse?? Is this #Idiocracy? Am I being #punked right now!? Where's Ashton and the cameras!

Then, I had a deep #selfrealization:

Jokes aside - This is a #sensitive topic for me. I talk about it in my closest circle too often. Unfortunately, I have a front seat to the steep cognitive #decline of some close #friends and #family members for years now, and it makes me sad - not because of disease or "old age", simply because of too much screen time and no new cognitive #stimulation. I see too many people purposefully avoiding nearly anything #cerebral, if they even approach them at all. I have many days where I wish the #Internet didn't exist - for a multitude of reasons, but this is a big one. I'm not trying to be "old fashioned" or #sarcastic, I'm just #disappointed in how we #humanz have grown to depend on #technology as a #crutch, rather than using it as the #tool it was invented to be. As the article eludes to, these technologies are supposed to #complement human #evolution, not #supplement it.

(part 1)

I'm a shocking liar.

"In no particular order" was a blatant lie.

Eric came first because I have, more than once, used a GhostBSD-provided repository to complement my use of FreeBSD.

Great post!

"Furthermore, there are complement inhibitor drugs (such as pegcetacoplan, iptacopan, and vemircopan) used for rare immune diseases that might be worth consideration for testing in Long Covid."

Check out the fantastic upgrade our 'Living with #Covid' friends can now install, #SADS-CoV on top of #SARS-CoV-2. Sweet Lord do we need to add #'s to make any of this searchable? That's instagram-level of dysfunction ;)

Interesting discussion of the role of #complement in pathogenesis, incl. prominent role for #placenta-associated 8 protein (PLAC8) as an essential host factor #SARSCoV2 #SADSCoV https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2118126119 https://twitter.com/_ppmv/status/1677749026135973889 @noyes

About two years ago I pointed out that the ability of #thyroperoxidase to initiate the #Complement cascade via cleavage of C4 should lead to an increased frequency of #thyroid disease in cases where SARS-CoV-2 infiltrated the thyroid. A recent imaging study out of Thailand found abnormalities in 20% of convalescents.

Re: #Temelimab (Anti HERV-env)

#PathogenicCoronaviruses are known for the severe amount of #Complement component activation provoked. In keeping with that, surface Complement Regulatory Protein #CD46 inducts HERV-Env via C3b attached to SCRs 2-4. Interestingly enough, the Split Complement products produced via CD46 mediated inactivation of #C3b and #C4b are #NRP1 ligands.

No evidence for link between #complement C4 and #schizophrenia!

An impressive #medRXiv study in ~70k blood samples fails to detect association between #C4 genes and protein at birth and schziophrenia later in life. This is interesting because the strongest genome-wide association for #schizophrenia, found in the #MHC region, has so far been attributed to C4. May the search for other loci continue, I cannot wait to see the #GWAS mystery of schizophrenia unfold!
