“COVID-19 virus could attack cancer cells and shrink tumors, new study suggests The early-stage research focused only on animal models, but scientists say it ‘offers hope’”
Related: “As CMV meddles in those processes for its own ends, it could be disrupting our body’s ability to repair its own DNA as it interacts with our cells over decades. When we lose the stability of our own genome, ‘that’s when cancer occurs.’”
Scientists are concerned that SARSCoV2 virus targets / interacts with 96 cancer genes— thereby “potential impact on pathways relevant to cancer affecting cell proliferation… favoring DNA degradation, preventing repair of damaging events”.
The network of SARS-CoV-2—cancer molecular interactions and pathways:
T cells die and get depleted
If you dysregulate this you can get things like lymphoproliferation or cancers with too little death, and depletion with too much
Don't annoy me with people in denial about T cell death signatures
The findings are robust in Covid-19
I can’t believe what I’m seeing
T cell dysregulation and exhaustion from Covid may have caused rapid progression of HPV related cancer
