Pure speculation but maybe this line of research or the methods used in the paper to understand immune cell metabolic reprogramming via single-cell multiomics could eventually help explain whatever possible cellular metabolic changes that are triggered and persist in Long COVID and ME/CFS…...

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adults, though the nature of the relationship remains unknown. Herein, we have examined the contribution of viral infection to the severity of arthritis in mice. We have provided the first...
Given the rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and the recent implementation of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, we have much to learn about the duration of immune protection and the interface between the immune responses to infection and to vaccination...
Highlights
• ME/CFS is characterized by skewed B cell receptor gene usage.
• Upregulation of specific IGHV genes correlated to infection-related episodes at onset.
• Plasmablasts of ME/CFS patients upregulated interferon response genes.
• B cell receptor repertoire analysis can provide a useful...

I thought we could not conclude autoimmunity is likely out of the picture as long as we dont know how to target long lived plasma cells? I mean b-cells dont really matter at that point if im not mistanken, as the autoimmune plasma...

Excerpt:
In conclusion, our study shows that the PTPN22 rs2476601 and CTLA4 rs3087243 autoimmunity risk variants are more frequent in patients with ITO ME/CFS. This finding provides further evidence that there is a genetic...
