A team of scientists in China, attempting to understand the function of a genetic mutation commonly found in animals living at high altitudes, discovered a previously unknown mechanism key to myelin repair. The discovery could have important implications for diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS),…
Tweet I have been taken to task out my slipshod use of statistics and suggested about 50% get disease control after two doses and about 50% after three doses so that with three doses about 75% of people get control. Yep I have not referenced…

Medicaid coverage of highly effective disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) for multiple sclerosis (MS) varies across the U.S., with some states offering no access at all, a study reported. The research suggests that where a person lives could influence whether they receive high-efficacy therapies, which are known…
Tweet With Alemtuzumab about 50% of people need a thrid dose because of disease breakthrough and only about 50% of them would need a forth course because of disease breakthrough. The result is when there is disease breakthrough another dose was given. Cladribine development was…
A new method called target trial emulation (TTE) used real-world data to successfully replicate the findings of a previous clinical trial of Tecfidera (dimethyl fumarate) involving people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), according to a study report. The approach also generated new evidence showing that…
Real-world use of Octave Bioscience’s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered blood test for classifying multiple sclerosis (MS) activity has increased substantially in the few years since its commercial U.S. launch. In clinical practice, the multiple sclerosis disease activity (MSDA) test has mainly been used for routine monitoring,…
