          New Biomarker Predicts MS Progression

          Researchers have identified a new biomarker in multiple sclerosis (MS): the thickness of the inflammatory rim surrounding brain lesions predicts how quickly and severely the disease progresses. By combining PET imaging and post-mortem brain analysis, the study showed that thicker rims lead to more aggressive brain damage.

          AI Predicts Autoimmune Disease Progression with New Genetic Tool

          Researchers have developed a Genetic Progression Score (GPS) using artificial intelligence to predict the progression of autoimmune diseases from preclinical symptoms to full disease. The GPS model integrates genetic data and electronic health records to provide personalized risk scores, improving prediction accuracy by 25% to 1,000% over existing models.

          Vitamin D Deficiency in Childhood Linked to Higher Autoimmune Risk

          A recent study found that vitamin D deficiency during childhood accelerates the aging of the thymus, a crucial organ in training immune cells. As the thymus ages, it becomes less effective at filtering out cells that could mistakenly attack the body's own tissues, increasing the risk of autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes.

          “Brain on Fire”: When Antibodies Attack the Brain

          Anti-NMDAR encephalitis, a rare autoimmune disease, can cause extreme psychiatric symptoms such as hallucinations, paranoia, and memory loss, often mimicking bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. This condition, often affecting women in their 20s to 30s, results from antibodies attacking brain receptors essential for cognition and memory.

          Increase in Protein Linked to Salt Intake Implicated in Multiple Sclerosis

          Researchers have uncovered that increased levels of the protein PRDM1-S, triggered by high salt intake, disrupt immune regulation and contribute to autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS). This discovery reveals how environmental factors, such as diet, can influence genetic mechanisms, leading to T cell dysfunction. The findings suggest that targeting PRDM1-S could lead to new treatments for a range of autoimmune disorders.

          Epstein-Barr Virus Plays Critical Role in Multiple Sclerosis

          Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) may cause multiple sclerosis (MS) through higher levels of immune cross-reactivity than previously thought. Researchers found that T-cells targeting EBV can also recognize brain proteins, a misdirection seen in both MS patients and healthy individuals.

          Researchers discovered that the brain can significantly influence the immune system, particularly its inflammatory responses. The study utilized mice to show that the brain can detect and adjust levels of inflammation via a specific brain circuit involving the caudal nucleus of the solitary tract.

          Myelin Repair Provides Novel Multiple Sclerosis Treatment

          Researchers discovered a promising treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) using a novel protein function inhibitor, ESI1, which effectively regenerates myelin—a crucial protective coating on nerve cells that deteriorates in MS. The study showcases that ESI1 reactivates the brain's capacity to produce myelin, overcoming traditional barriers that have hindered myelin regeneration.

          Blood Test Predicts Multiple Sclerosis Years Before Symptoms Appear

          Researchers identified a specific pattern of autoantibodies in the blood that precedes the clinical onset of multiple sclerosis (MS), potentially paving the way for early diagnosis and treatment. Their study found that 10% of MS patients displayed a unique set of autoantibodies against both human proteins and common pathogens like the Epstein-Barr Virus years before showing symptoms.
