Scientists may have found a “unifying theory” of chronic fatigue
Key Takeaways
  • Researchers identified common 3D genome architecture biomarkers across ME/CFS, long COVID, PTSD, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.
  • The study links shared disruptions in immunity, metabolism, and cellular energy regulation to convergent fatigue-related biology.
  • Authors suggest these shared biomarkers could enable blood-based diagnostics and new therapeutic targets for fatigue syndromes.
