French Paralympic champion Cécile Hernandez postponed retirement to save women's Para snowboarding from disappearing. Despite living with multiple sclerosis for 23 years, she's competing at her fourth Winter Paralympics to inspire the next generation.
Researchers discovered a promising breakthrough linking Epstein-Barr virus to multiple sclerosis, offering hope for treating not just MS but potentially lupus, chronic fatigue, and other diseases. The findings reveal how immune cells respond to this virtually unavoidable virus that 95 percent of adults carry.
Australian scientists have developed a revolutionary platform that can analyze over 100 genetic risk factors for multiple sclerosis at once. This breakthrough could lead to personalized treatments for thousands living with the unpredictable disease.
Scientists at Monash University discovered a tick protein that blocks two types of immune signals at once, a breakthrough that could lead to more effective treatments for rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and other inflammatory diseases. This natural protein works differently than anything found before.
Scientists at Monash University discovered a tick protein that blocks immune signals linked to multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. This natural protein could lead to more effective treatments for diseases that currently have limited options.
