Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Patients with autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), might have an increased risk of irAEs. This study aims to investigate the risk of MS relapses and other irAEs in MS patients treated with ICIs. Methods This single-center retrospective study was conducted by electronically… Continue reading 473 Multiple sclerosis relapse and immune-related adverse events outcome in patients with solid organ tumors treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors

How the keto diet could one day treat autoimmune disorders
Scientists have long suspected the keto diet might be able to calm an overactive immune system and help some people with diseases like multiple sclerosis. Now, they have reason to believe it could be true. Scientists have discovered that the diet makes the gut and its microbes produce two factors that attenuated symptoms of MS… Continue reading How the keto diet could one day treat autoimmune disorders
Research identifies crucial links between dietary choices and progression of multiple sclerosis
Newly published research in the journal Glia has identified crucial links between dietary choices and the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). The study, led by Patrizia Casaccia, founding director of the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center’s (CUNY ASRC) Neuroscience Initiative and Einstein Professor of Biology and Biochemistry at the CUNY Graduate… Continue reading Research identifies crucial links between dietary choices and progression of multiple sclerosis
MS Drugmaker Fined €462.6 Million for Disparaging Rival
The European Commission fined Teva for abusing its dominant position to delay competition for its multiple sclerosis drug Copaxone. Medscape Medical News
Differential Diagnosis of Suspected Multiple Sclerosis in Pediatric and Late-Onset Populations
This narrative review evaluates biological factors associated with multiple sclerosis in pediatric and late-onset populations.
Comorbidity and Disease Activity in Multiple Sclerosis
This cohort study uses a meta-analytic approach with data from phase 3 clinical trials of disease-modifying therapies to evaluate the association of comorbidities with disease activity in people with multiple sclerosis.
Healthy brains suppress inappropriate immune responses
Researchers have found a process by which the brain guards against attack by the immune system. In mice with multiple sclerosis, such ‘guardian’ proteins that train the immune system were drastically depleted, and replenishing them improved symptoms, according to a new study.
Natural compound found in flowers blocks activity of an enzyme involved in multiple sclerosis and cancer
Ancient viral DNA in the human genome linked to multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
New research has revealed a connection between ancient viral DNA embedded in the human genome and the genetic risk for two major diseases that affect the central nervous system.
Revealing the hidden role of blood leaks in Alzheimer’s and MS
The question of what causes complex neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s or multiple sclerosis continues to confound scientists and doctors, with the unknowns standing in the way of early diagnoses and effective treatments. Even among identical twins who share the same genetic risk factors, one may develop a particular neurological disease while the other does… Continue reading Revealing the hidden role of blood leaks in Alzheimer’s and MS
