Ramos-Cabrer, Pedro; Cabrera-Zubizarreta, Alberto; Padro, Daniel; Matute-González, Mario; Rodríguez-Antigüedad, Alfredo; Matute, Carlos
Here we use magnetic resonance imaging to study the impact of marathon running on brain...
Highlights
•FM patients have higher anti-SGC IgG levels associated with pain intensity
•FM patients have lower levels of phospholipid classes, sphingomyelin, and triglycerides
•FM patients have higher levels of diglycerides
•FM severe have higher levels of some lysophosphatidylcholines than FM...

Brain fog in long COVID: A glutamatergic hypothesis with astrocyte dysfunction accounting for brain PET glucose hypometabolism
Abstract
Brain [18F]FDG-PET scans have revealed a glucose hypometabolic pattern in patients with long COVID. This hypometabolism might reflect primary astrocyte...

The newsbrief posting reminded me that this paper wasn't mentioned. I think it may be a pretty important hypothesis for ME's root cause. It fits what I believe is the root cause of ME: that neuroglia are involved. I'm not sure whether there are any ME symptoms that...

Abstract:
Astrocytes are glial cells that are abundant in the central nervous system (CNS) and that have important homeostatic and disease-promoting functions1. However, little is known about the homeostatic anti-inflammatory activities of astrocytes and their regulation. Here, using...
