A disease that, after years of research, still remains essentially unknown. We do not know its causes, we struggle to diagnose it (the diagnosis is almost always made after ruling out other inflammatory or rheumatic diseases) and we do not have therapies capable of solving the underlying problem. So much so that, even today, fibromyalgia is not recognized as an autonomous nosological entity, with major implications for the patients who suffer from it.   <\/p>\n<p>In this context, identifying one or more biological mechanisms underlying the disease could allow us to make giant strides. The excellent <strong>Roberta Gualtierotti<\/strong> of the Policlinico di Milano, together with other colleagues including the pharmacologist <strong>Massimiliano Ruscica<\/strong>, has completed a study on fibromyalgia patients in which the function of the <a href=\"https:\/\/solongevity.com\/longevity-news\/mitocondri-le-centrali-energetiche-delle-cellule\/?_gl=1*17dy9zk*_up*MQ..*_ga*NzgwNTcwNjU5LjE3MTk5OTgxMTc.*_ga_RVXQ8542V8*MTcxOTk5ODExNy4xLjAuMTcxOTk5ODExNy4wLjAuMA..*_ga_R37NKJDLKV*MTcxOTk5ODExNy4xLjAuMTcxOTk5ODExNy4wLjAuMA..\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>mitochondria<\/strong><\/a> was analyzed with a very sophisticated technique. <\/p>\n<div class=\"container-product-box\"><div class=\"product-box\"> <div class=\"badge\">SOLONGEVITY SHOP<\/div>    <div class=\"product-image\">        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/8015\/9763\/files\/aminoage-hp-01.jpg?v=1718352615\" alt=\"AminoAge Plus.
