Spikeopathy—Spike Protein–Associated Pathobiology: A Series I: Definition and Scope
This publication introduces the concept of Spikeopathy as a proposed framework for understanding persistent spike protein–associated pathology following SARS-CoV-2 exposure. The paper distinguishes spike-related pathobiology from broader post-viral syndromes by focusing on protein persistence, tissue distribution, and downstream inflammatory, vascular, neurological, and immunological consequences.
The framework is intended to support improved diagnostic thinking, biomarker-driven investigation, and translational research across post-infectious and post-vaccination chronic conditions.
