A protein that disrupts cells’ energy centers may be a culprit in chronic fatigue syndrome
New study offers clues as to how exhaustion could arise in people with ME/CFS—and potentially related conditions such as Long Covid

(Me: this looks really solid—elevated levels of WASF3 disrupts mitochondrial functioning, level is raised in ME/CFS patients due to endoplasmic reticulum stress, treating ME/CFS cells in vitro with an ER-blocker restores mitochondrial functioning.)
