system’s response to that insult. A central tenet of this hypothesis is that ME/CFS is initiated when the itaconate shunt, normally a temporary response of the innate immune system, becomes a chronic impairment of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) in affected cells.

And by gap in symptoms I mean enough of a reprieve to take my lovely dog for a walk several days in a row.

May be pertinent to #ME/CFS in relation to Phair’s & Davis’ itaconate shunt working hypothesis HIF1α-regulated glycolysis promotes activation-induced cell death and IFN-γ induction in hypoxic T cells www.nature.com/articles/s41... See @openmedf.bsky.social www.omf.ngo/regulation-o...

HIF1α-regulated glycolysis promotes activation-induced cell death and IFN-γ induction in hypoxic T cells - Nature Communications
Anti-cancer immunity relies on the effector functions (e.g., IFNγ production) of T cells that reside in a hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Here, the authors show that HIF1α-controlled glycolysis is an ...
