How Intestinal Cells Trigger Multiple Sclerosis

Researchers have discovered that gut lining cells trigger the neuroinflammation seen in Multiple Sclerosis. By mistakenly "presenting" antigens, these cells create pathogenic Th17 cells that migrate to the brain and spinal cord.

Multiple Sclerosis Prevalence Doubled in Two Decades

MS prevalence has doubled since 2000, driven by better diagnostics and longer life expectancy. However, researchers warn of significant inequalities, with patients in deprived areas facing higher mortality and delayed care.

Hidden Dynamics of Early Multiple Sclerosis Myelin Damage

New research suggests that the earliest signs of MS damage are surprisingly dynamic. By tracking myelin swellings in 3D, scientists have discovered that these precursors to lesions can actually shrink and disappear, revealing a hidden opportunity to stop the disease before it starts.

Immune Signal Ratio May Predict Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

A long-term study has identified a potential biomarker that could help detect which patients are progressing toward more severe forms of multiple sclerosis. Researchers discovered that a high ratio of CXCL13 to BAFF indicates compartmentalized inflammation in the leptomeninges, a hallmark of progressive MS.

Is Your Oral Bacteria Influencing Multiple Sclerosis?

High levels of the periodontal bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum may be associated with more severe disability in people with multiple sclerosis. Researchers analyzed tongue-coating samples and found that MS patients with the highest abundance of this bacteria had significantly worse scores on a standard disability scale.

Tiny Gut Imposters Could Be Driving Multiple Sclerosis

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. In mouse experiments, bacteria engineered to mimic myelin triggered faster disease progression by activating aggressive immune cells that infiltrated the nervous system.

Oral Bacteria May Drive Multiple Sclerosis

Scientists have found that people with multiple sclerosis (MS) have a distinctly imbalanced oral microbiome—marked by a loss of beneficial bacteria and a rise in inflammation-linked microbes. Using advanced genetic and metabolic profiling, researchers revealed that saliva from MS patients also had lower levels of hypotaurine, a molecule that supports antioxidant defense and nerve health.

First Signs of Multiple Sclerosis Found Years Before Symptoms

Researchers have traced the earliest stages of multiple sclerosis (MS), showing that the immune system begins attacking the brain up to seven years before diagnosis. By analyzing over 5,000 blood proteins, they identified molecular signs of damage to myelin—the protective sheath around nerve fibers—long before symptoms emerge.

Pregnancy Hormones Show Promise in Treating Progressive MS

Researchers have identified two forms of estrogen, estradiol and estriol, that may reduce inflammation and protect nerve fibers in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). Using a virus model of the disease, the study found that both hormones lowered spinal cord inflammation, while estradiol significantly preserved the myelin sheath that protects nerve cells.

Inflammatory Brain Cells Driving Progressive MS Discovered

Researchers have identified a rare type of brain cell that may drive the chronic inflammation and neurodegeneration seen in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). These cells, called disease-associated radial glia-like (DARG) cells, appear six times more often in patients with progressive MS than in healthy individuals.
