Yale-Mount Sinai Cell study on Long COVID: https://t.co/CHMRsJtaEo found autoantibodies in some patients; IgG induced pain, fatigue-like behavior, and neuro changes in mice, suggesting they may contribute to symptoms. https://t.co/i3hgolh5O8
New open-access review by the Klimas & Nathanson labs summarizes how multi-omics and machine learning can study ME/CFS biological heterogeneity and explore potential molecular subtypes beyond symptom-based classification. https://t.co/qPMCOAJ4EW
@BatemanHorne Blog: “It’s not POTS" does not mean "it’s not Dysautonomia.” Most ME/CFS Dysautonomia presents as orthostatic intolerance (OI); more common than POTS or OH combined. "Patients need clinical pathways that recognize the full spectrum" https://t.co/8Dholyc3wL
Dr. Stephanie E. Haridopolos, M.D., serves as Acting Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor at HHS - this is an unprecedented recognition of ME/CFS and we need to follow up!!!

OMB has proposed changes to federal grant rules (OMB-2026-0034). This may affect ME/CFS research funding and stability. You can comment: oppose early ending of research grants, support stable long-term funding, and protect specialized disease research. https://t.co/p2PBOd9EVG
Cell May 2026: Two independent labs (Iwasaki Lab & Chen et al.) published parallel long COVID studies. Injecting patient IgG into mice replicated fatigue, pain, and small fiber nerve damage, directly linking autoantibodies to these symptoms. https://t.co/AKftOUWySm
