Abstract
Background: Long coronavirus disease (COVID; LC) affects millions of people worldwide. The exact mechanisms which result in a broad, undulating and detrimental symptom profile remain unknown. Blood biomarkers associated with LC have been described; however, consensus on these remains...

People With Long COVID and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Exhibit Similarly Impaired Vascular Function
Background
This study aimed to compare flow-mediated dilation values between individuals with Long COVID, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome...
Full title: The short-chain fatty acid butyrate exerts a specific effect on VE-cadherin phosphorylation and alters the integrity of aortic endothelial cells
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate (BUT) largely influence vascular integrity and are closely associated with the onset and...

Abstract
A proportion of COVID-19 reconvalescent patients develop post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) including a subgroup fulfilling diagnostic criteria of Myalgic encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (PCS/CFS). Recently, endothelial dysfunction (ED) has been demonstrated in these patients, but...
Abstract
Background
Prolonged recovery is common after SARs-CoV-2 infection, however the pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning Long COVID syndrome remain unknown. VWF-ADAMTS13 imbalance, dysregulated angiogenesis and immuno-thrombosis are hallmarks of acute COVID-19. We hypothesized that...
Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that platelet poor plasma (PPP) obtained from patients with LongCovid/Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) is characterized by a hypercoagulable state reflected in hyperactivated platelets and the presence of considerable numbers of fibrin(ogen) amyloid...

Abstract
Blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction is associated with worse epilepsy outcomes however the underlying molecular mechanisms of BBB dysfunction remain to be elucidated. Tight junction proteins are important regulators of BBB integrity...
Women are more prone to orthostatic intolerance compared to men and have a greater vasodilatory capacity. We investigated the hypothesis that women would have greater peripheral flow-mediated dilation (FMD) while in the upright posture compared to men, which could contribute to this phenomenon...
Immunomodulation by endothelial cells — partnering up with the immune system?
Jacob Amersfoort, Guy Eelen and Peter Carmeliet
Blood vessel endothelial cells (ECs) have long been known to modulate inflammation by regulating immune cell trafficking, activation status and function. However...

ABSTRACT
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex disease characterized by unexplained debilitating fatigue. Although the etiology is unknown, evidence supports immunological abnormalities, such as persistent...
