Inflammation & Autoimmune
Whether your immune system is running hot: the IL-6, IL-1 and TNF signalling, acute-phase proteins and complement that research links to autoimmune flares, chronic pain and the inflammatory fatigue that can linger after an infection.

- Science 2024Long COVIDPersistent complement dysregulation with signs of thromboinflammation in active Long Covid
Serum proteomics of 268 longitudinal samples shows terminal complement dysregulation and thromboinflammation in people with active long COVID up to 12 months.
Cervia-Hasler C et al.PubMed 38236961 - Nat Commun 2023Long COVIDPersistent serum protein signatures define an inflammatory subcategory of long COVID
Serum proteomics in 55 people with PASC identifies an inflammatory subgroup marked by type II interferon and TNF-linked NF-κB signalling pathways.
Talla A et al.PubMed 37296110 - Cell Rep Med 2022Long COVIDThe IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF cytokine triad is associated with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19
People with PASC after mostly mild COVID-19 have higher plasma IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF at 8 months, confirmed in a second cohort of 333 people at 10 months.

In ME/CFS of under 3 years' duration, plasma IFN-γ, IL-17A and TNF-α are higher than in 348 controls; these differences are absent in longer illness.
