Take a look at our latest data visualization.
"One of the problems of 'relapses' in MS is how the 'experts' define acute relapses or breakthrough disease. We have built a huge armamentarium of NEDA-related material on the one… Read"
Gene Polymorphism Associated With Slower Evoked Potential Latency
The Inpp4b gene plays a role in motor evoked potentials in a mouse model of MS, according to new research. The polymorphism is also associated with MS in Spanish and German populations.
A team of researchers based in Germany recently identified a new gene polymorphism associated with...

Peripheral B Cell Activation May Drive CNS Autoimmunity in MS
Two studies show that memory B cells actively traffic between peripheral lymphoid tissue and the CNS, thereby shedding light on the mechanisms of some current MS therapies and suggesting future avenues for therapeutic development
Pathological B lymphocytes are most likely activated in the periphery in patients with multiple sclerosis and then...
