Why don’t all #LongCOVID studies tell the same story?

Dr Odilia Corneth explains why different patient groups may show different biological patterns, and why disease duration matters.

Understanding these differences could be key to more targeted treatments.

Could the gut play a bigger role in #LongCOVID and #MEcfs?

Prof Eva Untersmayr explains how changes to the gut barrier and microbiome may contribute to low-grade inflammation.

Her team has found these changes in both Long COVID and ME/CFS patients.

What happens when recovery remains out of reach?

Dr Odelia Corneth followed severely affected #LongCOVID patients for ~2½ years. Many had PEM, were homebound and functioning at just 20–30% of their pre-COVID level.

Only a handful showed improvement.

Could abnormal blood clots help explain #LongCOVID?

Prof Doug Kell and Prof Resia Pretorius discuss research into amyloid, fibrin and abnormal clots, and how spike protein may contribute to changes in clot structure.

Could this help explain persistent symptoms?

The power of collaboration.

ISLC-PAIS Chair Professor @RobWüst reflects on bringing researchers from around the world together to tackle Long COVID, ME/CFS and other PAIS.

New ideas. New research. New trials.

The work continues.

Could PGE2 Hold Clues to Long COVID?

At #ISLCPAIS, citizen scientist Vera Ramer presents her hypothesis exploring how prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and its receptors may influence inflammation, pain and fatigue in Long COVID.

An intriguing hypothesis for researchers to explore.
