🔥Even after mild COVID, a negative PCR, and ADAR1 levels returning to normal, some people’s cells keep editing their own RNA abnormally, an "invisible" molecular imprint that may help explain why “recovery” is not the same for everyone. So, a negative test only means the virus left, not that the cell’s RNA-editing machinery might of returned to normal. 🤔 This needs further confirmation!

COVID-19 leaves an invisible molecular imprint—even after the virus is gone. ➡️ A study of 45 people with mild COVID-19 found that SARS-CoV-2 dynamically rewires ADAR1 RNA-editing activity during infection. Remarkably, even after the virus cleared and ADAR1 levels returned to normal, RNA editing remained abnormal in some individuals. 1/
