There is a new thread to discuss the prevalence of co-morbidities in ME/CFS: Co-morbidities - prevalence in people with ME/CFS Some posts about...
Gosh, this paper has a lot in it. Next up - can EBV and HHV-6A dUTPase proteins induce the secretion of regulators of the T cell differentiation?...
The next part of the study was to begin to find out 'what's in the ME/CFS serum that makes it different'? They looked at whether activin A was...
And the ME/CFS serum isn't just good at making PD-1 + CXCR5+ cells. The authors found that it was considerably better at making T cells...
The next bit of the study - testing to see what the ME/CFS sera can do! It took me a while to work this out. I didn't find the text very clear,...
To me, it looks as though this team have some results in the Activin A and IL-21 levels well worth investigating further. But I'm not convinced...
So, what about IL-21, and the subset this 2022 study found with the stunningly high values? (around 100 pg/mL for the healthy cohort; with the...
Health Nerd gets it partly right, in that the research on Long Covid is awful, with loose questioning often scooping up a ridiculously high number...
One problem is that another study of activin A found normal levels in ME/CFS cases: We discussed that Lidbury paper here: Activin B is a novel...
So, who has high activin A levels? Serum activin A and B levels predict outcome in patients with acute respiratory failure: a prospective cohort...
Figure 1 - measures of activin A, IL-21 and CXCL13 in the sera of ME/CFS, GWI and healthy controls [ATTACH] Those results look very interesting....
Repeating the finding from this study, just because. :) No difference, even though the bias of subjects towards the treatment that was on offer...
I see that it is possible to ask questions of the presenters, so, any forum member who won't be attending the conference, you can add your...
This looks interesting, looks like quite a few of us missed it. Brandon Cox is presenting at the 2022 IACFS/ME conference.
This conference is on soon. We have four team members ready to work on providing notes on some of the presentations of this conference: @ahimsa,...
Thanks IC, changes made, see mod note in initial post.
PD-1 Programmed Cell Death Protein 1–Positive CD8+ T Cells in Multiple Sclerosis Exhausted Fighters or Peacekeepers. Jul 2022 It sounds...
University of San Francisco team. It's a shame it isn't open access - I would have thought with the level of public funding for HIV/AIDS...
Sure, we can remain open-minded. But that doesn't mean assuming it's fine to apply the treatments in the absence of good reason and evidence....
( written at the end - Ugh, sorry, I'm boring even myself. Go and do something nice for yourself rather than bother with this.) I see that 65...
