In June 2021 at UK charity Invest in ME Research's tenth annual International Biomedical Research into ME Colloquium
(#BRMEC10) ME researchers from around the world met up to discuss research, both past and current,
The agenda was created with the help of The European ME Research Group
and was developed to test popular hypotheses that explain the aetiology of ME.
These included: immunogenetics and dysfunctional immune responses; an abnormal autonomous nervous system
and autoimmunity; mitochondrial metabolic dysfunction; and altered host-microbe (commensal and pathogen)
interactions.
A paper has been published that summarises discussions regaarding one of the hypotheses
from one of the Colloquium
sessions - that immune dysfunction and viral factors may drive the development and progression of ME.
