Mitochondrial proteins as possible biomarkers for subgroups of CFS

Posted on September 30, 2016 by wames

Research abstract: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating and complex disorder characterized by unexplained fatigue not improved by rest. An area of investigation is the likely connection of CFS with defective mitochondrial function. In a previous work, we investigated the proteomic salivary profile … Continue reading →

Protein kinase gene dysfunction in severe CFS/ME

Posted on August 30, 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 →
