Tweet Radiologically Isolated Syndrome (RIS) is when a chance scan picks up evidence to suggest MS and here the person was a child with active disease and was treated with natalizumab for 18 years and the development of confirmed MS never materialised. So does this…

In stable relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), higher physical disability scores and brain volume loss on MRI are stronger indicators of cognitive impairment than common blood biomarkers. A new study found that while blood tests often fail to reflect mental decline, MRI scans and standard disability…
28bio has developed miniature brain models to help evaluate potential treatments that aim to repair myelin, the fatty coating around nerve fibers that is damaged in multiple sclerosis (MS) and other conditions. The CNS-3D Myelinated Organoids contain multiple brain cell types, including nerve cells and…

Two commonly used disease-modifying treatments seem to be equally effective for most people with late-onset multiple sclerosis (LOMS), according to a real-world analysis. Anti-CD20 therapies, designed to reduce immune cells that produce disease-driving antibodies, and S1P receptor modulators, which work by preventing pro-inflammatory immune cells from…
A new type of MRI scan may be able to distinguish active multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions from chronic lesions — without the need for injected contrast dye — while also offering clues about how lesions may evolve over time, a new study reports. By combining…
