Gene expression data in the Cornell Center’s latest preprint (tinyurl.com/4e7cdeum) suggests monocytes are receiving signals from tissue under assault—perhaps from infection or injury. More work to do—what are these signals and where are they coming from?

Tomorrow is Cornell Giving Day. Research at the Center for Enervating Neuroimmune Disease has greatly benefited from the support of private donors. Thank you!

It was my great privilege to get to know Ron Tompkins after he started working on ME/CFS. He genuinely cared about the plight of patients. As well as a personal loss for all of us who knew him, this is a terrible loss for the ME/CFS research community.

Behind his incredible advancements and contributions to the world of medicine and science, Dr. Tompkins was driven by fierce compassion for others, touching the lives of all he met. Today, we join together as a community and mourn this loss, for he has left us too soon.

Thank you for your confidence in our work and generous help funding it. As discussed in our recent review article and perspective tinyurl.com/yhahxc3r, I think that the possibility of persistent EV infection needs to be further studied.

I have great respect for @DrMaureenHanson and her work in #mecfs. I awarded 50k USD to her lab to look into Enteroviruses' potenial role in pathology of pwME . Why am I telling you this? /1

This news article shows that the Pfizer vaccine didn't protect a nurse against long COVID, though it may have prevented a serious acute infection. Unlike ME patients, the public is unaware of the danger of post-acute viral illness.

I feel privileged to have discussed ME/CFS with Dr. Paul Cheney at several past conferences. He was an unconventional thinker who had a unique perspective on many aspects of the disease.

Cornell has now done a million COVID19 tests on campus. Keeping the incidence low has allowed us to continue our ME/CFS research in the lab during the pandemic. Of 22,000 tests done in the last 6 days, no students tested positive.

An excellent article on long COVID & ME. If ME patients had been able to band together in the 1980s as long COVID patients are able to now through internet resources, federal agencies would not have been able to ignore the disease so long.

The Medical System Should Have Been Prepared for Long COVID
COVID long haulers have been breathlessly covered, but there’s nothing surprising about medically unexplained symptoms—or the reaction to them.

Our paper on proteins present in plasma from ME/CFS cases vs controls appeared today. Despite a small sample size (20/20) due to the cost of the assays, important new information was obtained about biological disruptions in ME/CFS.
