Long COVID: Coagulopathies and Microclots
Tiny, Menacing Microclots May Explain Long COVID’s Symptoms
“One core question is: Do these microclots actually represent a root cause, or are they in response to something else that's ongoing?” says Michael VanElzakker PhD, co-founder of PolyBio Research Foundation, which is focused on studying viral reservoir:
