1) Researchers from Stanford University published an important paper linking Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) with the autoimmune disease Lupus. The first (Dr. Shady Younis) and last author of the paper (Dr. William H. Robinson) have previously been involved in ME/CFS research.

Seems to have been several important papers released recently shining a light on some of these chronic conditions. Real momentum seems to be building. Hopefully this will quickly lead to treatments and/or cures.

2) The Stanford researchers developed a new tool to study B cells that are infected by EBV. This was previously not possible because these are quite rare. Around 1 in 10.000 B cells in healthy controls are infected. In lupus patients, however, this is 25 per 10.000 B-cells.
