🧠 From Burst Cells to Blocked Organs: The New Vascular Story
Dr. Baliga's 'Got Knowledge Doc?' PODKASTS
🧬 New vascular villain? It’s not always clots. 💥 Necroptosis of endothelial cells triggers red blood cell rupture. 🩸 Sticky RBC fragments form “endo-seals” that block blood flow—especially in COVID-19, stroke, and MI. 🎯 Targets? Think MLKL & complement, not just platelets. #MedTwitter #COVID19 #VascularBiology #Pathology
