A quick update from the lab. A large remote clinical trial grant we proposed for funding was rejected. This study was on low-dose naltrexone (LDN) and cannabidiol (CBD) for Gulf War Illness treatment. If you want to hear a bit about how I feel about rejected grants and how I handle them, check out the video. While this news is disappointing, we fortunately have more accepted grants than rejected ones, and this is just part of the highly competitive process. - Jarred Younger
Sorry/not sorry to be cynical, but the odds that LDN plus CBD will cure anything at all are round about zero.
Fractalkine is found commonly throughout the brain, particularly in neural cells, and its receptor is known to be present on microglial cells. It has also been found to be essential for microglial cell migration.[9] CX3CL1 is also up-regulated in the hippocampus during a brief temporal window following spatial learning, the purpose of which may be to regulate glutamate-mediated neurotransmission tone. This indicates a possible role for the chemokine in the protective plasticity process of synaptic scaling.[10]

Thank you for adding valuable info/links!Unfortunately, these studies are still using Fukuda to select patients. Lots of money and time spent on an outdated definition that doesn't require PEM
