Dr Audrey Ryback (who is funded by Action for ME) and Charlie Hillier plan to replicate with a larger sample work by Fluge and Mella who found something in serum that changed the behaviour of healthy lab-grown muscle cells.
They will use the Seahorse anlayser to look at glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration. Using a stain and microsocopy, they will look for the mitochondrial fragmentation that Prusty saw, and will also investigate how serum might affect cell function.
