ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 04/09/20261) A new paper on ME/CFS is getting media attention: it's about how the chromosomes containing our DNA are folded. These 3D structures can influence the expression of genes. Unfortunately, I don't think this study warrants all the attention... 24016
ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 04/09/20262) I suspect the media attention is mostly driven by commercial interests, rather than the significance of the scientific findings. The paper comes from the company Oxford BioDynamics (OBD) that developed a new test called EpiSwitch which they applied to ME/CFS. 1100
Andreas Longva @andlon.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Tbh I didn't even bother reading the article when I saw it came from Oxford Biodynamics. Their previous overblown claims made it clear they have no interest in honest science. One of the most blatant conflicts of interest in this space in recent years IMO 030
