Scientists from Griffiths University have identified defective calcium-transporting cellular structures as the likely cause of Gulf War Illness, a condition affecting up to one in three Gulf War veterans. This discovery offers hope for developing future treatments to manage or cure the debilitating symptoms experienced by veterans exposed to chemical and biological warfare agents.
Researchers from the University of California, San Diego, have discovered that Gulf War Illness (GWI) is primarily driven by impaired mitochondrial function, not inflammation as previously believed. The study suggests that impaired mitochondrial function should be the primary target for future clinical interventions. The findings could lead to improved treatment strategies for veterans suffering from GWI and may have implications for other health conditions marked by inflammation.
