Play Duration: 26 minutes 6 seconds26m It has long been one of the most complicated and complex medical conditions and routinely dismissed by friends, family and even medical professionals because - maybe it's in your head? Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has never had a one-stop reliable diagnostic test, the cause can be unknown and the symptoms are broad. The only sure thing is how debilitating it is to have ME/CFS. But my next guests have dedicated years of their professional careers to ME/CFS .. one in the lab, the other in the doctor's surgery.

The new Griffith University research found a crucial cellular structure responsible for calcium transport, the TRPM3 ion channel, was faulty in immune cells from people with ME/CFS.
ALT Large-scale investigation confirms TRPM3 ion channel dysfunction in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome โ Martini Sasso et al. "We identified a significant reduction in TRPM3 ion channel function in NK cells isolated from ME/CFS patients, both in response to stimulation with the agonist PregS (p < 0.0001) and in suppression of activation using ononetin (p < 0.0001)."
