Near the end you added:
“...high levels of IL-6 can activate the coagulation pathway and vascular endothelial cells but inhibit myocardial function.”
To my lay scientist ear, this sure sounds like the underlying cause of the stokes and crazy blood clots we’ve been seeing, sometimes in otherwise young and healthy individuals.
[citation needed, but] I’m thinking of broadway star who had his leg amputated last week from blood clots
And [citation needed, but] I’m thinking also of the story brought to this board on Friday of the Doctor removing a clot from a mans brain and watching more clotting form in real time. I wonder what his IL-6 levels were.
Is it Monday yet? Sleepless nights all around.
One of my guesses for tomorrow, is one or two, of two expected publications coming out. Heady times to be sure.
