ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 21/10/20251) Dr. Vanessa Velasco gave preliminary results on OMF's new neutrophil study. She found that neutrophils of ME/CFS patients died quicker and more often than those of healthy controls, under inflammatory conditions. 22110
ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 21/10/20252) Neutrophils are immune cells that form the first line of defence when there is an infection. The researchers were able to isolate the neutrophils from whole blood, without changing them, and then mimic inflammatory conditions in the lab. 141
Andreas Longva @andlon.bsky.social · 21/10/2025That's one of the clearest signals I recall seeing (i.e. good separation). Small study, but could be really important if replicated, or am I misinterpreting? Were the controls matched on fitness level? Hope it's not simply correlated with fitness (I know nothing about neutrophils!) 140
