"Mitochondrial Role in Exercise Intolerance for Long COVID Patients Revealed in Study"

A recent study published in Nature Immunology reveals that long COVID patients exhibit T cell dysregulation, inflammation, and an uncoordinated adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2, as evidenced by blood sample analysis using 'omics' approaches and serological assays. The findings suggest that immune-associated changes and phenotypic alterations in T cells and other immune cells may underlie the persistent and wide-ranging symptoms associated with long COVID, potentially due to miscommunication or error in crosstalk between humoral and cellular adaptive immunity involving B and T cells.

"Insights into Long COVID: Immune Dysregulation, Genetic Impact, and CBT Benefits"

A small cohort study conducted by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) of the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland, found that people with long COVID neurologic symptoms had broad immune dysregulation in their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), with lower levels of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and increased B cells and other types of immune cells. Autonomic testing also showed dysfunction. The findings suggest that immune dysregulation may play a role in mediating long COVID and call for further investigations to confirm these changes and evaluate the role of immunomodulatory agents in clinical trials.
