Therapies to remove harmful immune B-cells that drive inflammation in multiple sclerosis (MS) may also work by mobilizing protective, gut-derived B-cells into the bloodstream and nervous system, a new study shows. Researchers also found that higher levels of molecules thought to drive such protective functions in B-cells were linked…

Treatment with neural stem cells — cells that have the ability to mature into supportive cells of the brain and spinal cord — showed early signs of neuroprotection in people with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), according to long-term follow-up data from a small early clinical trial. The…

Australian researchers are using lab-grown “mini brains” to investigate new ways to repair myelin, the protective coating surrounding nerve cells that is lost in multiple sclerosis (MS). The 3D lab models, grown from human stem cells, will allow researchers to study how myelin forms naturally in the human…

Following every training exercise and mission I was ever a part of in the military, participants gathered to conduct an After-Action Review (AAR). Although the process has been formalized in the U.S. military, soldiers have probably been doing something similar for millennia, and it’s certainly not limited to that profession.
Discussion
Under-the-skin (subcutaneous) injections of Tysabri (natalizumab) allow people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) to receive treatment much faster, more conveniently, and with less disruption to daily life than the original into-the-vein (intravenous) form, a study found. Use of the subcutaneous formulation, which is approved in the European…
