Prof. Bhupesh Prusty and his team have recently published results from their ME Research UK-funded study investigating how viral infections may influence the development of ME/CFS.
They found that immunoglobulins (or antibodies) from the blood of people with post-infectious ME/CFS caused disruption to the mitochondria of healthy endothelial cells. The mitochondria are responsible for generating energy in the cells of the body.
We will present a more detailed look at these results in due course.
