Breakthrough findings in an individual disorder are special, but developing new technology that expands our ability to understand many diseases is something else entirely. It provides the potential to make a difference on a truly vast scale. Those types of breakthroughs are coming with increasing frequency.

• Last month Mark Davis and his huge immune machine determined that exposures to herpesviruses, in particular, vastly altered the states of our immune system.
• Just last week researchers uncovered a lymphatic network in the brain that provides a new window on neuro-immune disorders.
• This week the journal Science published a breakthrough study that has major implications for understanding the role pathogens play in illness.

Each one could shed light on diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromaylgia

The astonishing thing for us in the ME/CFS community is that two of the three researchers mentioned are also working on ME/CFS.

Steven Elledge, a Harvard researcher devised a cheap virus scan test:

Now that we can look at all viruses, it’s a complete game-changer.

I firmly believe that new technology drives science and generally has a much larger impact than individual basic science discoveries.
