Itaconate modulates immune responses via inhibition of peroxiredoxin 5, 2025, Tomas Paulenda et al

Well then I hope my results get published someday because they might surprise you!

 

Well, I think it goes without saying that we all appreciate your efforts! I remember how hard doing academic humanities work was with mild ME, I can't even imagine throwing lab experiements into the mix!

Are the lab experiements ongoing or are they still being planned/set up? Do you have any sort of idea of a timescale until you might have your answer?

It does sound like a plausible theory that would fit with my experience of deterioration, and definitely sounds worth pursuing.

Totally understand about the drugs. I think that's probably sensible given the direness and desperation of our situations.

 

I have a potential collaboration worked out where a generous research team might be able to carry out one preliminary experiment for me. Timeline is a few months at least.

In the mean time, I’ve been meeting with researchers at my university to try to get trained on some protocols. Likely I’d need to get a grant award before I can move forward with doing anything myself. I’ll probably have a better chance with a grant if that preliminary data comes back supporting my idea
