"Researchers have identified a previously unknown biological process that causes tissue and organ damage in conditions where oxygen is low, such as heart attacks and strokes. The study suggests that bursting red blood cells, not blood clots, are the culprits."

Since there are plenty of theories about blood clots or vascular dysfunction being involved in ME, I thought some people might find this interesting. Might ME's "less flexible" or "stickier" blood cells make this newly discovered blockage mechanism more common?
