Scientists found that children with MIS-C after COVID-19 have high TGFβ levels, which weaken T cells and reactivate Epstein-Barr virus.

Blocking TGFβ restores immune function, linking EBV to MIS-C inflammation.

Exciting to see this story out — showing that children with MIS-C have high levels of TGFβ, which weakens T cells and reactivates EBV. Blocking TGFβ reversed this effect, making this a potential treatment option!

Proud to have contributed our part!

SARS-CoV-2, MIS-C, and EBV!

Unexpected mechanism behind this puzzling disease!

Kids with MIS-C show weakened T cell responses due to high TGFβ levels, allowing EBV to reactivate and drive inflammation

Blocking TGFβ reverses these effects—a potential treatment path!
