A new study claims to have uncovered how Epstein-Barr virus launches immune responses seen in people with multiple sclerosis.

More than two decades ago, a research team in the lab of David Hafler, a Yale researcher who at the time was at Harvard, discovered a type of T cell in humans that suppresses the immune system; they ...

Researchers have demonstrated how B cells infected with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can contribute to a pathogenic, inflammatory phenotype that contributes to multiple sclerosis (MS); the group has ...

The role that Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) plays in the development of Multiple Sclerosis may be caused a higher level of cross-reactivity, where the body's immune system binds to the wrong target, than ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system characterised by demyelination and axonal injury. A growing body of evidence implicates ...

Motor fatigue in multiple sclerosis arises from the interplay of central and peripheral processes that impede voluntary movement over time. Demyelination and axonal loss in the corticospinal tract ...

The Wistar Institute's Paul M. Lieberman, Ph.D., and lab team led by senior staff scientist and first author Samantha Soldan, Ph.D., have demonstrated how B cells infected with the Epstein-Barr virus ...

Scientists have identified a novel molecular pathway that may link salt intake to MS risk. Ina Peters/Stocksy The study also found that higher dietary salt intake activates this molecular pathway in ...
