Summary:
- Researchers at the University of Virginia have discovered a potential explanation for the breathing difficulties experienced by some individuals with long COVID-19.
- The study found that the immune system's response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus can lead to inflammation and damage in the diaphragm, the muscle that helps us breathe.
- This discovery could help develop new treatments to address the breathing problems associated with long COVID-19 and provide insights into the long-term effects of the virus on the body.
