> In the new study, researchers identified a set of CD8 T-cell cytokine biomarkers that distinguished the long COVID and ME/CFS patient groups from the control group.
> According to the study, people with long COVID and ME/CFS had dysfunctional CD8 T-cells, decreasing their ability to produce the helpful cytokines. This dysfunction was associated with symptoms such as exhaustion and cognitive dysfunction.
> Preliminary results from a small, retrospectively assessed group treated with the novel agent Inspiritol, showed an improvement in CD8 T-cell function that paralleled patients’ reports of reduced symptoms, including fatigue and cognitive difficulties over the course of treatment.
