Large NK Cell Study Points to Autoimmunity and Inflammation in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
Studies dating back decades indicate that natural killer cells aren’t up to the job of killing infected cells in ME/CFS. Killing isn’t the only thing these cells do, though, the’re also involved in immune functioning. A large study examining the...
POTS Rising! Research & Advocacy Producing Breakthroughs in Neglected Disease
If you think ME/CFS and FM are behind the eight ball at the NIH, then check out postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a common comorbidity. The NIH doesn’t even measure POTS funding but then how could it? POTS doesn’t even have a designated...
Hope for an ME/CFS Autoimmune Subset: A German Researcher Steps Forward
Carmen Scheibenbogen is unusual. Not only has she become one of the most prolific ME/CFS researchers of the past few years but she’s doing her research from a country – Germany – which hardly acknowledges the disease’s existence. Plus,...
Stanford Exercise Study Shows Different Immune Response in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
It’s always good to see an exercise test in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). It’s harder on the patients – kudos to them for participating in the study – but study after study has shown that exercise allows researchers to dig deeper...
Study Suggests Complex Neuro/Immune/Endocrine Interactions Underlie Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Bruun Wyller continues to surprise. Recently the CBT proponent called for more research into Epstein Barr virus. Now his latest study suggests that neither the neurological, immune nor the endocrine systems alone cause ME/CFS but that the three working together may...StudyME
