A recent study of [[Metabolic|metabolite]] pathways in blood samples from people with ME/CFS reported a signature suggestive of a hypometabolic condition, similar to a phenomenon biologists have studied in other organisms and refer to by the term β[[dauer]]β (a hibernation-like state) [5]. A number of other studies have suggested that changes in the [[immune system]] may play a causal role in ME/CFS [6][7][8], either due to a post-infectious autoimmune process or due to a unknown chronic infection.<ref>[https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2017/03/21/moving-toward-answers-in-mecfs/ Moving Toward Answers in ME/CFS - NIH Director's Blog - Dr. Walter Koroshetz and Dr. Francis Collins - March 21, 2017]</ref>
