Scientists may have solved a decades-old mystery after uncovering the likely cause of a disease affecting up to one in three veterans who served in the Gulf War. The discovery offers hope to the hundreds of veterans suffering from Gulf War Illness by opening up a potential avenue for future therapeutics and symptom relief.The Gulf War was an international conflict in 1990 and 1991 that was sparked by the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
'This discovery is a significant step forward in understanding this baffling and complex illness,' Sonya Marshall-Gradisnik, study author, professor and director of Griffith University's National Center for Neuroimmunology and Emerging Diseases, said in a statement.Previous studies have found clear relationships between environmental toxins and damage to these calcium-transporting structures, such as biological and chemical war agents.
