A new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science discusses the role of the protein WASF3 in preventing ME/CFS patients from generating normal amounts of cellular energy. ME/CFS is a condition characterized by extreme fatigue and neurological concerns with no known cause. Research has shown that people with ME/CFS have high WASF3 levels in their muscle tissue, which may be related to their inability to recover after exercise. This finding could potentially lead to future treatments for the condition. Advocates for ME/CFS recognition hope for increased national attention and funding to support ongoing research and potentially improve the quality of life for patients.
