Background: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and multiple sclerosis (MS), autoimmune inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, affect the optic nerve and brain. A lumbar puncture to obtain biomarkers is highly invasive. Serum biomarkers and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) are more accessible and less expensive than magnetic resonance imaging and provide reliable, reproducible measures of neuroaxonal damage.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how the SOCS1 gene changes in the liver and spleen of mice experiencing sepsis, focusing on its potential mechanisms.
- Using a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) method to induce sepsis, researchers analyzed RNA and proteins from liver and spleen tissues through RT-PCR and Western blotting.
- Results showed a significant increase in SOCS1 expression in the liver and spleen over time, indicating its importance in immune response during sepsis, which could lead to new treatments for improving sepsis outcomes.
