Background
Investigations of activin family proteins as serum biomarkers for chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME). CFS/ME is a disease with complex, wide-ranging symptoms, featuring...
An old study but, as shown in this thread, https://s4me.info/threads/top-10-sc...f-citations-tweet-by-dr-mark-gutheridge.7461/, one of the most cited ME/CFS papers in the past 10 years, so thought it might be useful to have here.

Though this video/article is primarily about vitamin D and colorectal cancer risk, it delves into Vitamin D's role in the gut microbiome and inflammatory/infectious disease. It covers research that will be published in 2019.
It concludes that it's time for doctors right now to consider Vitamin...

Neuroinflammation and cytokines in ME/CFS: A critical review of research methods
We argue that the vast majority of ME/CFS neuroimaging has failed to use optimal techniques for studying brainstem, despite its...

A way to measure cytokine levels in vivo using essentially a biologically coated optical fibre guided into the brain via a stereotactically positioned guide cannula.
Potentially of interest for real-time monitoring in ME if cytokines in the brain are relevant...
I think this seems to be talking about the opposite of what Griffiths University claimed to have found here, https://www.s4me.info/threads/the-courier-mail-australian-scientists-prove-cfs-is-real-and-have-discovered-a-test-for-it.1638/? Griffiths claim we don't have enough calcium going into...

Abstract
Background
Cytokine disturbances have been suggested to be associated with the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) for decades.
