There isn't detail on PCS diagnostic criteria - just that there are persistent symptoms for more than 12 weeks. The PCS group have high levels of...
It (the 2020 paper from Hanson's lab) is a really interesting paper, concluding as it does that CD8+ T cells have an impaired response to...
Yes, although it does say that being a patient predicted levels of pain and fatigue, and that pain and fatigue was predicted by post-injection...

Interesting to see this 2018 study where Raijmakers seemed to be suggesting that that there was immunological reason for QFS. A couple of years...
[ATTACH] Here is part of 3b which shows the levels of selected proteins for each participant - this chart is for IFN-y (interferon gamma). The...
[ATTACH] Here's Figure 2a which summarises the pathways with enriched expression in clusters 4 and 5. Surely there must be some clues in there...
