I am very excited about this article! I did not realize there was a field called Immunoengineering!

Hopeful research and interesting how it states that long covid and Lyme look identical.

One of the best! Great article, great MIT research Doc., Cool and hopeful subject.

I am glad you got to read it. I tried to go back, but had run out of free articles. I hope I can find it again somewhere. If so, I will post a new link, too.

Great article. The conspiracy theory truth is coming to light. Now to name the other bad concoctions that The Mad Scientist added to the Borrelia
spirochete.

Here is a well-deserved $100.000 award she got from Bay Area Lyme when she was still at Stanford and beginning her project.
https://www.bayarealyme.org/our-research/emerging-leader-award/michal-caspi-tal-phd/

'Project Overview
Recent advances in oncology research have found that a protein called CD47 prevents immune cells from engulfing and killing certain cancer cells.

Dr. Tal’s ELA project explores if B. burgdorferi has a CD47 mimic and, if so, will determine the structure and sequence of that protein.

She will examine how the CD47 mimic binds to a receptor on the immune cell

and also screen compounds that may be able to block this interaction

so that immune cells once again can engulf B. burgdorferi and eliminate it."

Thank you for posting about this article, Pam.

I did find the lymedisease.org article, but went to the MIT mag for the whole thing, and then got cut off as I had already used up my free articles there. Tried just now and got it back.

Hope that link works for everyone now.
