Researchers Identify Biomarkers Associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Severity - RESEARCH


Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine report that 17 cytokines, the proteins that signal immune system action, are linked to chronic fatigue syndrome. The severity of the disease is tied to the levels of these various proteins in the blood.

The findings, described in a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could lead to further understanding of this condition and be used to improve the diagnosis and treatment of the disorder, which has been notably difficult.
