Movement of proteins in blood is 99% due to the heart pumping. I think they are talking about movement of proteins from one side of a cell to...
I didn't think the paper was suggesting mutations in cysteine coding by DNA? I cannot yet see quite what they are suggesting but I assume some...
This looks like an echo of the proposals put out by people like Peter Paine in the UK. The question has to be why anyone should be receiving...
This is a very popular excuse for not bothering even to make the diagnosis. If the diagnosis is made and the surgeon has the intelligence to...
I am afraid that none of this stuff looks meaningful to me. So many things you can measure in immunology are just not close enough to what you...
I think it is just a question of them having no idea what they are talking about. Microclots are clots not platelet clumps. The level of...
But that isn't what the term means. It may well lead to loss of function but if we are to get anywhere we need to make sure we do not use terms...
Absolutely agree, for trials etc. But when researchers try to find leads for identifying possible treatments I don't see thresholds as being...
That seems to me irrelevant. If a term is defined as meaning something then that is what it means. PEM may be inadequately described as malaise,...
This looks like a group of quacks doing a bit of communal marketing. I have no idea what they even mean by mesenchymal stem cell therapy. We all...
Not a lot from that account. It is written in typical fashionable immune-soundbites without any actual data given. They have presumably found some...
A drop in neutrophil count isn't really immune suppression as normally understood. ME/CFS is not going to be due to an overactive neutrophil response.
Cytokines have short half lives but inflammation caused by cytokines does not as a rule. Getting cytokine driven inflammation started and then...
I was not aware of L-D syndrome as a rheumatologist. The link to TGF beta is very interesting though. I had an interest in aortic involvement in...
The mention of inflammation seems disconnected from the study of inactivity and insulin resistance. The latter may be of interest to ME/CFS...
But is a doctor and a scientist I do not understand that because 'PEM' is the name for an increase in symptoms over a certain time course. That is...
I am a bit puzzled by this. If loss of function/disability is blamed on PEM and PEM is the name for a set of symptoms, aren't we back to the...
Low serum sodium.
The stuff on megakaryocytes being infected would be interesting if it pans out. But the quoted statement doesn't make sense and makes me...
This illustrates a general problem we have discussed in the context of cyclophosphamide, as well as therapist delivered treatments - that it can...
Separate names with a comma.
