WIPButyrate produced by the Lycium ruthenicum polysaccharide alleviated sleep deprivation-induced chronic fatigue syndrome in mice through promoting microglial autophagy.
This study explored whether Lycium ruthenicum polysaccharide (LRP) influences gut microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and neuroinflammatory responses in a sleep deprivation-induced CFS-like mouse model. Oral LRP was associated with improved fatigue-related behavioral performance, redu…
Exploring differences in protein cargo of extracellular vesicles from ME/CFS patient plasma compared to healthy controls.
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic and debilitating disease characterized by post-exertional malaise, fatigue and pain. Yet, its underlying biological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles carrying biological cargo a…
Phenotype-specific associations of mosaic chromosomal alterations in systemic sclerosis.
Mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs) increase with age and are associated with many diseases, including autoimmune diseases. The associations between mCAs and systemic sclerosis (SSc) and its clinical subtypes have not been explored. We recruited study subjects from 2 independent datasets (set 1: 6…
Association of rapamycin treatment with the modulation of purine metabolism, reduced microglial inflammatory responses, improved mitochondrial energy metabolism, and alleviation of fatigue symptoms in ME/CFS subjects: pilot findings from phase-II observational study.
In our ongoing phase II observational pilot trial, the compounded formulation of low-dose rapamycin significantly reduced fatigue-related clinical symptoms in ME/CFS subjects. Although the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear, exploring metabolic pathways involving circulating blood-borne…
Hyperbaric oxygen alleviates CFS-like cognitive impairment via PLA2G4A-linked glycerophospholipid metabolism.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is frequently accompanied by persistent cognitive deficits and neuroinflammation, yet effective interventions remain limited. Here we tested whether hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) improves CFS-related cognitive impairment in mice and examined a glycerophospholipid-metabolic m…
Synergistic anti-Helicobacter pylori efficacy of a molecularly identified Limosilactobacillus fermentum isolate in combination with multiple antibiotics.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gram-negative gastric pathogen resistant to the acidic stomach environment through urease-mediated neutralization, enabling colonization of the gastric mucosa. It is a major cause of gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer, and was classified as a Cla…
Association between light exposure patterns and multidimensional health outcomes in individuals with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome: findings from an observational cross-sectional cohort study.
Light is a major environmental factor regulating circadian rhythms, sleep- wake cycles, and mood-related behaviors. Patients with Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) often experience circadian disruption and poor sleep quality, which severely compromise their quality of life;…
Australian registry reports poor health and wellbeing in people living with ME/CFS.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating condition hallmarked by post-exertional malaise accompanied by an array of multisystemic symptoms. Consequently, people living with ME/CFS experience significant health impacts and report poor health-related quality of lif…
