A group of international experts is proposing a first-of-its-kind framework to prevent multiple sclerosis (MS) from ...

Our results provide mechanistic evidence that immune responses to EBV can directly damage the brain in MS,” said Olivia Thomas, PhD, assistant professor at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience at ...

One of the leading triggers for multiple sclerosis (MS) is an infection with the Epstein-Barr virus. However, certain gene variants also play an important role.

Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis arise when the immune system turns against the body itself. Yet for most of ...
