Loosely Wrapped Myelin Marks Early Stages of Multiple Sclerosis, Even Before Inflammation

Structural abnormalities in white matter, even before the onset of inflammation, may serve as a new therapeutic target for multiple sclerosis (MS). The study, focusing on 'normal-appearing white matter', identified early changes in myelin, an insulating substance around nerve fibers.

Epstein-Barr Virus Antibodies Linked to Multiple Sclerosis Progression

Researchers have discovered a new link between the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). Their study revealed that certain antibodies, originally aimed at fighting EBV, can mistakenly target proteins in the brain and spinal cord, leading to MS symptoms. This antibody misdirection was found in roughly 23% of MS patients studied. The findings highlight the need for personalized therapies to combat MS.

New Biomarker for Disease Progression in Multiple Sclerosis

The blood level of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) cellular component increases when astrocytes are damaged or activated. Elevated levels of GFAP in the blood can indicate both the current and future progression of multiple sclerosis.
