Research: Distinguishing ME/CFS & FM

Distinguishing ME/CFS and FM through gene expression   Canadian researchers have measured the activity (expression) of genes in people with ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia. 3 of the 11 miRNA were over-expressed in ME/CFS and under-expressed in FM. These three miRNAs could … Continue reading

Biomarker research: Differentiating ME and FM

Differentiating ME and FM   Canadian researchers believe they have uncovered a way to tell the difference between people with ME, FM and both ME + FM. 11 miRNAs (microRNAs) are proposed as potential biomarkers. microRNA is the name of … Continue reading

MicroRNA hope for CFS/ME biomarker

Research abstract Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to regulate many biological processes and their dysregulation has been associated with a variety of diseases including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME). The recent discovery of stable and reproducible miRNA in plasma has … Continue reading
