    Review Lactylation and viral infections: A novel link between metabolic reprogramming and immune regulation 2025 Chen et al

    Abstract Post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulate protein structure, function, and interactions, playing pivotal roles in cellular processes and disease progression. Lactate, a byproduct of the Warburg effect, accumulates excessively during viral infections and functions as a signaling...

    Cyclosporin A alleviates influenza A (H1N1) virus-induced chronic pulmonary inflammation through decreasing IFN-γ-producing T lymphocytes 2025 Deng+

    Abstract Influenza causes 3–5 million severe cases globally each year, with severe viral pneumonia often requiring hospitalization for over four weeks. While the inflammatory response to influenza infection helps control viral replication, excessive inflammation is a key driver of disease...

    The immunoproteasome disturbs neuronal metabolism and drives neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis 2025 Friese et al

    Highlights • PSMB8 is induced in neurons under inflammatory conditions, such as multiple sclerosis • The integration of PSMB8 into the proteasome reduces proteasome activity in neurons • This causes the accumulation of PFKFB3, triggering a metabolic switch and ferroptosis • Targeting PSMB8 or...

    Opinion: Expanding the rheumatology lens: should we embrace POTS and post-infectious syndromes? 2025 Adler

    Like many of my colleagues who care for patients with dysautonomia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and infection-associated chronic illness, I stumbled into this work seemingly by accident. As a rheumatology fellow, I was trained to ask sharp, targeted questions to diagnose rheumatic diseases. When...

    Effects of lactate concentration on T-cell phenotype and mitochondrial respiration 2025 Cho et al

    Abstract Lactate is a critical regulator of cellular processes and immune signaling, and we hypothesize that exercise-induced elevations in lactate help activate immune cells in response to vigorous exercise. Despite its importance, the impact of lactate on T-cell mitochondrial respiration...

    Awakening the sense of the possible: the Symptoms Clinic as liminal affective technology 2025 Greco et al

    Highlights Causal complexity characterises persistent physical symptoms (PPS) disproportionate to disease. The Symptoms Clinic Intervention recognises the reality of PPS and co-constructs explanations. Causal dispositionalism offers a second order explanatory vocabulary for complex singular...

    Cognitive Performance Fatigability, Perceived Fatigability, and Trait Fatigue in Post-COVID-19 Condition: A Cross-Sectional Study 2025 Andersson et al

    Abstract Objective: Earlier research on fatigue in post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) has mainly studied subjective fatigue, either over a prolonged period (trait fatigue) or in relation to a certain situation (state fatigue) in the form of perceived fatigability. Another aspect of state fatigue...

    Course of Fatigue and Sleep After Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury 2025 van Heugten et al

    Abstract Objective: To examine the development of different dimensions of fatigue and subjective and objective measures of sleep in the first 18 months post moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), and explore the association with biological (processing speed), psychological (mood), and...

    Daily steps and health outcomes in adults: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis 2025 Ding et al

    Summary Background Despite the rapid increase in evidence from the past decade on daily steps and health-related outcomes, existing systematic reviews primarily focused on few outcomes, such as all-cause mortality. This study synthesised the prospective dose-response relationship between daily...

    Affective dysregulation and sex differences in somatic symptom disorder: A 6-month longitudinal and mediation analysis 2025 Park et al

    Highlights SSD patients exhibited greater reductions in somatic symptoms over 6 months compared to controls. Somatic symptoms were related to anxiety and trait anger, particularly in females. An interaction between anxiety and trait anger contributed to symptom severity. Reductions in anxiety...

    Blog: Challenges of ‘Imposter participants’ in patient and public involvement, 2025, Saunders, Kingstone and Chew-Graham

    "The term “imposter participants” has been proposed to characterise individuals who, for the purpose of participating in research, provide false identities and experiences [1-4]. The term ‘Inauthentic participants’ is a broader term which describes individuals or technologies that engage in...

    UK Government Delivery Plan for ME/CFS, published 22nd July 2025

    Because those people who did express such reservations weren't listened to; once that was apparent then I didn't continue to waste my precious energy on pointless actions, especially as I have more productive things to focus on.

    Review Cost effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for fatigue in patients with long-term conditions: a systematic literature review, 2025 Davis+

    Some very odd word choice, "CBT was either dominated by usual care" and "PEP dominated CBT" Perhaps AI 'helped' out?
