Has this been replicated, and if not, why not?

I couldn´t find a thread on it, but it seems to me that this study should definitely have been replicated with a larger sample size.

I was going to say it would disprove Wessely and co. at a stroke, but a.) they beliefs are already discredited in the minds of intelligent people, and b.) they would probably say that ME patients are activating the astrocytes with either bad thoughts or some kind of voodoo.

An expanded and refined study should be underway (by the same team) as per the April 2004 article by @Simon :

Of course it would be better if these results were confirmed independently but I'm not aware of any other researchers currently looking at this.

There are some researchers who are doing the same study. But one of them is Loyd from Australia. I think they want to disprove these results.

@Marco thanks for posting Simon's article. Small typo, think you meant April 2014....
