Vitamin D and curcumin, a compound found in turmeric, reduced the proportions of certain inflammation-related immune cells in laboratory experiments using blood samples from people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), a study has found. The combination had a greater effect on certain immune cell populations than either compound alone,…

Some paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) — MRI findings linked to chronic inflammation — disappeared in the brains of adults with multiple sclerosis (MS) after they underwent an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (aHSCT), a small study found. No new PRLs appeared during follow-up. The findings contrast with an earlier…
