Perhaps it was just coincidence that C7 was the protein that had the starkest difference. They did find other proteins involved in the classical...
The Spanish ME/CFS study found increased levels of circulating complement factor C1q but the LC preprint mentioned above found these C1q to be...
Found this simplified overview in a YouTube video that gives an introduction to the complement system. [ATTACH]
That other LC study on the complement system (the preprint by Paul Morgan et al.) also found activation of the classical and alternative but not...
Trying to get an overview of all the tests they did in this study. They started with analysing proteins using the ‘SomaScan platform’. This uses...
Interesting paper. So they found differences in the grey but not the white matter and these differences indicated immune-suppressed microglia...
Looks interesting. A previous preprint on LC also pointed to problems with the complement system:...
Useful to be able to test the questionnaire like this. Thanks to raffbenato for coding this.
They argue that CBT increased the connectivity between the sensorimotor network (SMN) and posterior default mode network (DMN) compared to the...
I suspect that ME/CFS is more prevalent in similar population groups (although we can't really know for sure at this point).
I suspect this is the actual research article presenting the data, but I'm not sure because it is behind a paywall. NEWS AND VIEWS 10 January...
Merged thread NEWS 10 January 2024 Ancient DNA reveals origins of multiple sclerosis in Europe A huge cache of ancient genomes spanning tens of...
Had a quick look at the R file they used for the statistical analysis and I think that the errorbars in figure D and E are just a standard...
Lots of results in this paper. They annotated 116 metabolites in skeletal muscle and 83 metabolites in venous blood. Many amino acids were not...
The exercise results for 25 Long Covid patients showed poorer ventilation function, which some similarities to what Cook et al. found in 99 ME/CFS...
The patients in the study reported improvement, but on average, not the spectacular remission/recovery that has been reported in the ME/CFS...
Quote from the paper: "A sizable amount of the main findings from this analysis are consistent with experimental data in ME/CFS. Firstly, the...
The main reason is that it was a feasibility study with only 17 patients and no controls so I do not have high confidence in the results yet. The...
Thanks!
We've written a review of the most interesting ME/CFS studies of 2023. Would be interesting to hear if we missed any important studies that should...
