"The authors describe alpha-synuclein as a “toggle switch” that regulates two very distinct functions: transport of vesicles and gene expression. In disease states, the balance is broken."
News about alpha-synuclein catches my attention because cumin (so effective for me as a PEM-blocker) inhibits the agglomeration of this protein, and is thus a possible explanation for why it worked for me. I also consider ME to be a 'toggled state' that we can switch into and out of, so any sort of neuro-molecular toggle switch catches my attention.
Hardly a breakthrough for ME, but I thought the potential connection was interesting. BTW, baicalin, which some members here find beneficial for their ME, also inhibits A-syn agglomeration.
