Research: Transcriptomics: female ME/CFS patients responded differently to an exercise challenge

Disrupted immune signatures found in females with ME/CFS   US researchers found that female ME/CFS patients responded differently to an exercise challenge that stimulates PEM, compared to healthy females.  They studied the RNA molecules in the cells (transcriptomics). The ME/CFS … Continue reading
