The silent pneumonia: Biofilms and the neurons that should feel them
The pneumonia your neurons can’t detect
Luke Brown was led to neuroimmunology not by buzz, but by questions arising from his clinical mentors and by pursuing a trail of experiments. We're pleased to share his account of how this led to a 2024 publication in Cell Press:

Hidden Infections May Be the Missing Link in Long COVID
Long COVID may be driven by dormant infections that awaken after COVID disrupts the immune system.
Just yesterday: "Hidden infections may be the missing link in #LongCovid" in eLife Sciences: scitechdaily.com/hidden-infec...
Coming soon in the Ansyme Newsletter: "The silent pneumonia: Biofilms and the neurons that should feel them" by Luke Brown PhD

‘Unprecedented’ dorsal root ganglion atlas captures 22 types of human sensory neurons
The atlas also offers up molecular and cellular targets for new pain therapies.
A new atlas of the human dorsal root ganglion contains more than 53,000 neurons and nearly 500,000 non-neuronal cells from 126 people.

Black background framed by dark blue triangles in the corner and blue hexagons across the top. Bottom left shows a neuron, and bottom right shows a brain with the lower brain and brainstem highlighted. Large white text on a dark blue backdrop reads “Donate to change lives”. Additional white text reads “Ansyme”, “A patient-led, volunteer nonprofit to promote advanced neuroscience for systemic medicine, with a focus on autonomic system disorders”, and “Your donation will support:” followed by three bullet points: “Monthly newsletter about lower nervous system research”, “Appearances at pertinent research conferences”, and “Workshop to connect scientists, clinicians, and patients”.
We're over halfway to our goal!
Your donation would help support our monthly newsletter, where we connect the dots between the latest #neuroscience & underserved medical conditions, as well as participation in 2026 research conferences.
🙏 Any amount could help change many lives for the better.
