New project assessing brain neuroinflammation and the lymphatic system in ME/CFS

Listen to this story

ME Research UK is delighted to announce that we have awarded funding to Dr Zack Shan at the University of the Sunshine Coast for a new study using MRI to assess brain neuroinflammation and the lymphatic system in ME/CFS.

Dr Shan and his colleagues are conducting the world’s first controlled study directly assessing neuroinflammation in the brains of people with ME/CFS. They plan to investigate the characteristics of brain immune cells and the lymphatic network, in order to understand more about the role of neuroinflammation in ME/CFS and whether this might help in the development of evidence-based treatments.
