This is semi-old news, I think, but what is new is that the media is picking up on it. That is a good sign. It might also be that I am misremembering as similar research was done on OI if I recall correctly, and the CFS study is really new. Either way, I like this trend of isolating tissue and then subjecting it to tests under stress in controlled conditions. Its paid off for OI, and FM, and now maybe CFS. Hard to study stuff is easier to study if its isolated, though you then lose the complexity of interaction that may make things happen differently in the body.
Now if they did cytokine testing and energy production testing under these conditions, would we get diagnostic biomarkers?
