Hey, I caught an interview with one of these researchers yesterday on #CBC's #QuirksAndQuarks.
This could be excellent news for eventually preventing future humans from having to live with #Lupus! ❤️
(Alas, it sounds like there is no anticipated way to make this learning applicable to people already infected with EBV and/or dx'd with Lupus 😢).

1 van mijn hoofd hypothesen wat betreft #MEcvs is nog steeds de rol van #EBV-virus en reactivatie. Net na mijn covid infectie en de verergering van mijn klachten liet mijn #EBV serum test hoge waarden/reactivering zien.
Daarom volg ik dit soort onderzoeken met grote interesse. (Via @MEresearchUK)

Plot twist: The #Epstein files that will be released by the DoJ are all about mononucleosis.

Lupus may be triggered by a common virus – new research

“#EBV is the pathogen that causes 'kissing disease' [mononucleosis]…it can directly infect and reprogram specific immune cells, potentially driving the onset of the chronic autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus – better known as simply #lupus.
"This is the single most impactful finding to emerge from my lab in my entire career," claims immunologist and head of the lab William Robinson.”
"We think it applies to 100 percent of lupus cases.”

Glad to see more mainstream reporting on the many risks of Epstein-Barr Virus (most commonly known for: Chickenpox, Mono, Shingles) , and breakthroughs for Lupus!

"This is the single most impactful finding to emerge from my lab in my entire career," said William Robinson , MD, PhD, a professor of immunology and rheumatology and the study's senior author. "We think it applies to 100% of lupus cases."

And Epstein-Barr virus gets reactivated by Covid-19 infections

Epstein-Barr virus appears to be trigger of lupus disease, say scientists
"Epstein-Barr virus reprograms autoreactive B cells as antigen-presenting cells in systemic lupus erythematosus", Younis et al. 2025

With this and the prior discovery of the relationship between EBV and multiple sclerosis, and with various cancers, we are late already at developing an effective vaccine against EBV.
Den Weg, den #Canva mit #Affinity eingeschlagen hat, ist interessant und kann zum echten Problem für #Adobe werden. Ich nutze Affinity Photo und Publisher übrigens schon seit Jahren. Für mich als Fotografen ist die Killer-Software allerdings nicht #Photoshop, sondern #Lightroom, das ist der Grund meiner Creative Suite.
#EBV infection has long been recognized as risk factor for #multipleSclerosis. A new study in mice reveals a causal chain with B cells playing a key role as mediator. Implications for treatment. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09378-0
"The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)... has launched an early-stage clinical trial to evaluate an investigational preventative vaccine for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). #EBV is the primary cause of infectious mononucleosis and is associated with certain cancers and autoimmune diseases."

Why are all these publications acting like EBV is this new mysterious thing? I’ve been screaming since 2020 that none of y’all want a virus that’s going to be dormant in your system that will come out and WRECK YOU when it gets reactivated.

People on Facebook and twitter laughed at me. I was extremely active, in my career and going to school (because I could tell the easy mortgage days we’re coming to an end in 2004, I was in funding instead of processing at that point, but still . . .)
It took me more than half a year to heal enough to get out of bed and go back to work because I kept trying to push through because I didn’t know I had mono until my PCP sent me to psychiatry because they insisted it was mental illness. After 30 minutes he knew it was mono and sent me to the lab. Not mental illness.
Anyway, everything was great. I was still getting some PEM at the end of my work week but I thought that was just because I was in my 30s. I thought it was normal to feel hung over on Saturday mornings even if I just went home on Friday night and went to bed after work. I thought that was just what being mid 30 was about.
Then I was in a car accident in 2012 that wrecked some discs in my neck and I woke up feeling like I had mono all over again. And it has never gone away. Ever.
