The take-home message from this study is clear: long COVID is here to stay, even in children, and can be exacerbated by reinfections and sustained by high viral circulation. Governments, health-care systems, and

Long COVID is more than fatigue. Our new study suggests its impact is similar to a stroke or Parkinson’s

Mounting evidence shows long COVID is real and serious. Studies confirm it reduces quality of life to levels seen in chronic fatigue syndrome, stroke, arthritis and Parkinson’s

Abstract
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Long COVID-19 (LC-19) are complex conditions with no diagnostic markers or consensus on disease progression. Despite extensive research, no in vitro model exists to study skeletal muscle wasting, peripheral fatigue, or potential therapies. We developed 3D in vitro skeletal muscle tissues to map muscle adaptations to patient sera over time. Short exposures (48 hours) to patient sera led to a significant reduction in muscle contractile strength. Transcriptomic analysis revealed the upregulation of glycolytic enzymes, disturbances in calcium homeostasis, hypertrophy, and mitochondrial hyperfusion. Structural analyses confirmed myotube hypertrophy and elevated mitochondrial oxygen consumption in ME/CFS. While muscles initially adapted by increasing glycolysis, prolonged exposure (96–144 hours) caused muscle fragility and fatigue, with mitochondria fragmenting into a toroidal conformation. We propose that skeletal muscle tissue in ME/CFS and Long COVID-19 progresses through a hypermetabolic state, leading to severe muscular and mitochondrial deterioration. This is the first study to suggest such transient metabolic adaptation.
