I can see the headline now: People with fibromyalgia can't tell plastic from real flowers. Or so it is claimed.
I note that they judged cell abnormality on the basis of circulating free DNA. A key feature of SSc is that cells die - especially the endothelial...

Yes, the situation for the last fifty years has been that MS has been seen as a pathological brain disorder but large numbers of patients with MS...

Well, PEM is said to let for months in some cases and also to be an exacerbation of symptoms already present. I find it hard to see why people who...
Lymph nodes will be packed with T cells, as they are in normal people. But biopsying lymph nodes has proved impractical and raises huge sampling...
