A new machine learning tool can now help predict whether people newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) will experience disability worsening that occurs even in the absence of relapses. According to a recent study, these artificial intelligence algorithms can identify the risk of “progression independent of relapse activity,” or PIRA, using simple clinical data typically…

Tweet So neuros are invited to learn about statistics. So whilst they are off to Naples to learn, as you tuck into your frozen pizza (it’s almost Naples after all) you too can learn some statistics which will help to determine how much you log-in to your memory banks that will help you to read…

Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) — a congressionally chartered veterans organization open to all military service members with multiple sclerosis (MS) — has launched a new, free, online fitness and wellness program that offers adaptive, expert-led classes for individuals with mobility challenges.

A history of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) appears to alter the immune systems of people with specific genetic traits, causing their own cells to mistakenly flag brain proteins as dangerous threats, according to a new study. This discovery offers insight into how these risk factors — viral infection and genetics — interact to contribute to…

Tweet Thomas et al. Anoctamin-2-specific T cells link Epstein-Barrvirus to multiple sclerosis. Cell (2026), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2025.12.032 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection constitutes a prerequisite for multiple sclerosis (MS) development, and cross-reactivity between EBV nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) and anoctamin-2 (ANO2) antibodies was previously demonstrated in persons with MS (pwMS). Here, we show that ANO2-specific CD4+ T cells…

A greater intake of vitamin D, from both food and supplements, was linked to a 42% lower risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) among women living in Norway, according to a large prospective study. “Our findings suggest that a higher dietary intake of vitamin D decreases the risk of developing MS,” the researchers wrote, noting…

For a long time, food was simply a necessity — something I grabbed between classes, appointments, or bouts of fatigue. I didn’t think much about how it made me feel, aside from the noticeable energy dips or sugar highs. Living with multiple sclerosis (MS) has gradually shifted my perspective, though. Over time, I’ve realized that…
