New work from our Center team 🤝: blood cell-free RNA 🧬 may help us understand—and one day diagnose—MECFS. Analysis reveals immune dysfunctions as seen in other studies. Great cross-lab collaboration between our De Vlaminck, Grimson, and Hanson Labs. More info: neuroimmune.cornell.edu/news/cell-fr...
