Although Mitochondria may very well be related to ME/CFS the article does not mention it so I chose to put it under the heading "Health News and Research unrelated to ME/CFS". Defeating Diseases with Energy

The discovery of a subset of mitochondria that have a different type of function. https://phys.org/news/2018-04-scientists-cells-mitochondria-specialized-fats.amp The full paper is here,

I think this might be of interest to us but really it's so technical I'm out of my depth. What caught my attention was recalling that this recent study claimed that itaconate is an anti-inflammatory metabolite (recent forum thread on the study here) and reading the Wikipedia article that...
