Perplexity on the new CFS research and its connection to Dr. Rebecca Culshaw's Smith's new AIDS paradigm
Virus-induced endothelial senescence as a cause and driving factor for ME/CFS and long COVID: mediated by a dysfunctional immune system | Cell Death & Disease From Perplexity Connect this to the paradigm that has emerged from Rebecca Culshaw's Substack This new endothelial-senescence paper slots almost perfectly into the inflammation‑and‑immune‑dysregulation “spectrum of illness” paradigm Culshaw has been sketching on Substack, even though it stays strictly within orthodox virology language. nature +1 Core link: inflammation, immune dysfunction, spectrum The paper argues that acute viral infections (SARS‑CoV‑2, influenza, enteroviruses, herpesviruses) can push endothelial cells into a senescent, pro‑inflammatory state that then becomes self‑reinforcing and chronic, maintained by a dysfunctional immune system. nature Culshaw’s writing leans on a similar through‑line: that a wide range of “mystery” conditions (AIDS, CFS/ME, autism spectrum, long‑COVID‑like syndromes) ...
