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...

Cytokine signatures in chronic fatigue syndrome patients: a Case Control Study and the effect of anakinra treatment
Abstract
Background
Cytokine disturbances have been suggested to be associated with the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) for decades.
Methods
Fifty...

I found there was too much certitude in this claim, as the study hasn't been reproduced yet (and cytokines studies seem to be difficult to reproduce):

Montoya, Davis et al published their paper on cytokine signatures for ME in July.
