    Early Growth Response Gene Upregulation in Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV)-Associated Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)

    This isn't the newest study of all but it hasn't been discussed yet and I think it deserves a separate post. It's a review of the existing evidence on latent EBV pathology in CFS/ME. Author: Jonathan Kerr Published: 26 October 2020 doi: 10.3390/biom10111484 Abstract
