Good to see that the teaser worked :-). Coming next week

I like this: Endpoints: The study will compare pre- and post-treatment differences, in exercise performance and function during recovery, using...
Interesting video, worth a 5 min watch. A few things that struck me: 1. Mark Davis is joing Principal Investigator along with Ron Davis, which...
Whoops: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-28477-9 Original post corrected. Thanks. And I'll rest better once the blog is finally out of...
Nice try! Sorry, don't even have the energy to read the paper. However, I'm relying on the summary from @Trish , and over at PR Murf posted this:...
If there is a link between HLA and ME/CFS it wouldn't directly leads to to treatment. However, if HLA are shown to be a risk factor, that would...
The biobank sample is currently too small (it probably needs 1,000 patients or more) and HLA genes are hard to sequence for technical reasons. Ron...

Good point. There’s a lot of time and resources being ploughed into this hot topic by some excellent researchers. That’s not so unusual in many...
Yes. For clarity, the PhD is funded to £90k (half from AfME, half from the Scottish Chief Scientist's Office). Chris will cover direct costs for...
Answers from Chris Ponting: 1. People recruited: 500,000 of whom over 2,000 people were self-reporting as having been diagnosed with ME/CFS. Yes,...
This looks very encouraging to me. The most important thing is that it is a pitch for more funds to the Medical Research Council's Population and...
Thanks, and also I see that I went on to talk about the potential new study that I didn’t want discussed here! However, Chris just made a comment...
Yes, that one hit might be, but "(4) ME/CFS has a biological component because the heritability of ME/CFS is not zero. Canela-Xandri et al....
I always take a look at the male/female split in a study and I can't remember one with decent diagnosis that wasn't c75% female. Having said that,...
Yes, that was my thought too - but this was only a small study with many caveats so it would be dangerous to put too much weight on the one hit....

I didn't know that. But presumably it's still a sign of immune action? Earlier during the Stanford symposium, Mark Davis showed clonal expansion...
