Research into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), in May 2023 highlighted several key developments:

1. International Conference:
   • The Charité Fatigue Center in Berlin hosted the second International ME/CFS Research Conference on May 11-12, 2023. The event brought together leading scientists and clinicians to discuss advancements in diagnostics, treatment, and understanding of ME/CFS
2. Symposium for Awareness:
   • On May 12, 2023, the International ME/CFS Awareness Day, a public symposium was held to update patients, caregivers, and the general public on ongoing research and care initiatives
3. Biomarker Studies:
