Dysregulation of protein kinase gene expression in NK Cells in CFS

Posted on 09/12/2016 by wames

Research abstract: BACKGROUND: The etiology and pathomechanism of chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) are unknown. However, natural killer (NK) cell dysfunction, in particular reduced NK cytotoxic activity, is a consistent finding in CFS/ME patients. Previous research has reported significant changes … Continue reading →

Systematic review of drug therapies for CFS/ME finds no drugs universally effective

Posted on 06/08/2016 by wames

Review abstract: Purpose: The pathogenesis of chronic fatigue syndrome or myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is complex and remains poorly understood. Evidence regarding the use of drug therapies in CFS/ME is currently limited and conflicting. The aim of this systematic review was to examine the existing evidence on … Continue reading →
