Discoveries suggest that rogue antibodies could be responsible for the persistent symptoms of long COVID. Recent research shows that when these antibodies were transferred from individuals with long COVID to healthy mice, specific symptoms, such as pain, were also transferred. This groundbreaking evidence, published on bioRxiv.org and medRxiv.org, sheds light on the harmful effects of these autoantibodies. The implications of these findings are significant, paving the way for potential therapies targeting these antibodies to alleviate long COVID symptoms.
