Let’s hope this proposed ‘unifying theory’ of chronic fatigue leads to new avenues for diagnosis and treatment. 🙏
TL;DR:
Researchers at the University of East Anglia and Oxford BioDynamics, found that long Covid, ME/CFS, PTSD, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis may affect overlapping biological networks involved in immune function, metabolism, cellular energy, and stress responses. The study used existing genetic data and 3D genome analysis rather than collecting new patient samples.This shared “unifying theory” could lead to common diagnostic blood tests and therapies that target the underlying fatigue pathways across all these conditions.
The findings could eventually support better blood tests and treatments, but the proposed biological connections—including the potential role of genes such as LAG3, still need to be validated through further research.This is just the very beginning, but it is the beginning.

SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY PSYCHOLOGY FEEDTITLE: Scientists find a new layer of Alzheimer’s hidden in the genome
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260912220051.htm
Scientists found that the 3D organization of DNA is disrupted in several types of brain cells affected by Alzheimer’s disease, altering how important genes are switched on and off. The discovery reveals a previously underexplored layer of the disease that could open new paths for understanding and eventually treating Alzheimer’s.

In August, #RFKJr’s #HHS followed up by announcing it would no longer fund #mRNA #research through the Biomedical Advanced Research & Development Authority. The latter move involved the cancellation of 22‼️ separate contracts.
After the #FDA initially declined to review #Moderna’s mRNA-based #flu #vaccine because of the design of the company’s clinical trial, the agency recently approved it.

Experts say major safety concerns are unfounded, but #government #funding for #mRNA, particularly for its use against respiratory viruses, has been slashed during #Trump’s 2nd admin, driving concerns that mRNA innovation could stall.

Messenger RNA, or #mRNA, is a single-stranded molecule that delivers genetic information to direct the formation of proteins. Before it was used in #vaccines against #Covid19, mRNA was stirring excitement among #cancer researchers.
However, the technology has faced backlash in the wake of the pandemic, with some [ #ConspiracyTheories ] questioning the safety of mRNA.

Karen Knudsen, CEO of the Parker Institute for #Cancer Immunotherapy, said the Moderna results could signal a new era for treating solid-tumor #cancers.
“The positive hit here leads us into truly this next phase in #immunotherapy,” Knudsen said. “This is an auspicious start — this is where things begin.”

In January, the companies announced results of a mid-stage trial of the treatment showing that it reduced the risk of recurrence or death by 49% after 5 years.
#Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin #cancer. In 2023, there were >1.5 million people in the US living with melanoma, acc/to the National Cancer Institute.
The companies said they will present their results at an upcoming medical meeting & share them with regulators.

The trial enrolled 1,137 high-risk patients with stage 2b to 4 #melanoma that had been surgically removed.
Volunteers were randomized to receive up to 9 doses of #Keytruda plus the personalized #vaccine or Keytruda alone for about one year. The companies said no new safety signals have emerged in the trial. Previous studies showed the most common side effects were fatigue, pain at the injection site & chills [better than dying!].

“For many years, the idea of creating an #mRNA treatment designed specifically for an individual patient’s #cancer was aspirational,” Bancel said in a statement. “We are now helping turn that vision into a reality.”
The cancer treatment combines Keytruda with a made-to-order mRNA #vaccine that is based on an analysis of mutations found in the patients’ own tumors.

The results are “as big a day for humanity as Nov. 16, 2020,” when #Moderna released late-stage clinical trial results showing its #Covid19 #vaccine worked, the company’s chief executive, Stephane Bancel, told CNN Wednesday. “This is a new chapter in #cancer care.”
Moderna said the company & partner #Merck aim to file for approval from regulators within months, though they declined to provide a more specific timeline.

This is a game-changer for the medical world! 🧬🔬
Researchers have identified a specific protein called NFIL3 that basically exhausts engineered immune cells (CAR T-cells), causing them to lose their cancer-fighting ability over time. By using CRISPR gene-editing to disable this protein, scientists managed to keep the cells active much longer, showing massive promise for tackling hard-to-treat solid tumors. 🛑🦠

One infusion. One time. Possibly forever. A breakthrough gene-editing treatment just slashed LDL "bad" cholesterol by up to 62% — and the results are holding 18 months later. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the small study of 35 patients could reshape how we fight heart disease, which kills 800,000 Americans annually. No daily pills. No repeat treatments. Just one shot. Experts call it potentially "game-changing." Larger trials are next — but the early signs are extraordinary. The future of heart health may have just arrived. #HeartDisease #GeneTherapy #MedicalBreakthrough #Cholesterol #Health #Science #Medicine #NEJM #Innovation #Healthcare https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/25/health/cholesterol-ldl-gene-therapy.html?unlocked_article_code=1.lVA.l-ru.p7FYphe9x4Tx&smid=nytcore-android-share
