An ad is currently being circulated in Swedish ME groups on social media, a research study led by prof Jonas Bergquist at Uppsala University that is currently recruiting.
It's a study on altered energy metabolism in ME/CFS, focusing mainly on lactate, glucose and hypoxanthine.

Abstract
The kynurenine pathway (KP) is the main path for tryptophan metabolism, and it represents a multitude of potential sites for drug discovery in neuroscience, including pain, stroke, and epilepsy. L‐kynurenine (LKYN), the first active metabolite in the pathway, emerges to be a prodrug...
This is a private initiative from a family who has previously organised two large conferences in Stryn, Norway. They also do fundraising for biomedical research into ME. All money goes to Fluge, Mella and their team at Haukeland University Hospital. (more about their fundraising in English...

I'm enjoying it. I'm not sure I'll remember much of it, but I like that I'm seeing that there's real progress towards understanding at least some of what it going on.
One interesting point from Maureen...
The Swedish patient organisation Riksföreningen för ME-patienter (RME) organised two international ME-conferences this autumn.
The lectures were filmed and today RME uploaded them.
