Researchers have demonstrated how B cells infected with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can contribute to a pathogenic, inflammatory phenotype that contributes to multiple sclerosis (MS); the group has ...

Artificial intelligence (AI), using a simple blood test combined with standard brain images has, for the first time, been ...

Ongoing clinical trials are exploring therapies like tolebrutinib, fingolimod, and ocrelizumab, focusing on efficacy and ...

A biological, mechanism-based framework to reclassify multiple sclerosis (MS) types was proposed by the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in Multiple Sclerosis. The approach lays the ...

New research reveals that when gut bacteria closely resemble the myelin sheath that protects nerve fibers, the immune system can become confused and attack both — accelerating multiple sclerosis.

More than two decades ago, a research team discovered a type of T cell in humans that suppresses the immune system; they later found that these so-called regulatory T cells, when defective, are an ...

Nonprofit coalition selects seven esteemed researchers to fuel understanding of autoimmune diseases and accelerate potential therapies To that end, seven research projects were selected after a highly ...

If gut bacteria are too similar to the protective layer of nerves, they can misdirect the immune system and cause it to attack its own nervous system. This mechanism can accelerate the progression of ...
