A thread for discussion of Cell-free DNA in general: Cell-free DNA levels
Those are massive increases in levels of cfDNA. The graded exercise test is just 12 minutes, a CPET. It's interesting that there was a lot of...
So, a new technique to identify the source of cell free DNA. There might be issues if the cells of people with ME/CFS that then go on to release...
That's a short half-life Perhaps it would be necessary to look for differences in cell-free DNA immediately after exercise and/or during PEM.
I see that Andy has discussed this on this thread: Elevated cfDNA after exercise is derived primarily from mature neutrophils, with a minor...
I know this test was discredited, although I believe it was by Julia Newton's team. Some of her papers have been problematic and her stance on...
It's a good article but there's a strong message that these terms are okay for the professionals to use, it's just when amateurs start diagnosing...
There's discussion of the negative effects of increased levels of oxygen. The low oxygen environment of high altitudes seems to protect against...
Measurement of oxygen levels in cells
I wonder if a state of hypoxia, perhaps even just normal levels of hypoxia, could be the trigger for an abnormal process that results in PEM?
Research from Jordan. I can't quite work out what the Results section is saying. I don't know about the selection approach, but there's a...
Antigen persistence in the absence of viral persistence
There's claims of higher levels of inflammatory molecules e.g. CRP in Long Covid, to fit with their overall story of inflammation causing...

That must be Professor Andrew Lloyd. That list of conflicts is woefully inadequate. He runs a clinic that treats people with CFS using CBT and...
Great quotes on FND, thanks Baseit. The use of 'functional' as a smokescreen, a palatable way of saying 'psychogenic', is very clear from the...
It feels as though this label could well be the price patients pay for having a problem that the doctor doesn't know how to fix, and for having...
