The basis of our investigations is a hypothesis about immunomechanisms responsible for aetiopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis including immungenetic connection (predisposition) and autoimmunity (pathogenesis). Some new results about cellular immunity using cell electrophoresis mobility technique, especially sensitization against normal brain tissue antigen (NTA) and investigations of lymphokines in cerebrospinal fluid are represented. The intention of this paper is to demonstrate a combined diagnostic regime for early detection of multiple sclerosis as well as for follow-up studies in course of treatment.

Background: The DNA methylation-based epigenetic clocks are increasingly recognized for their precision in predicting aging and its health implications. Although prior research has identified connections between accelerated epigenetic aging and multiple sclerosis, the chronological and causative aspects of these relationships are yet to be elucidated. Our research seeks to clarify these potential causal links through a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study.

Background: Emerging evidence implies a link between high pediatric body mass index (BMI) and an increased risk of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, previous research suggests this association is only present for adolescent obesity and not childhood obesity. The present study aimed to assess the association between pediatric obesity and risk of developing MS, and to investigate if degree of obesity and age at obesity treatment initiation affects the risk.

Observational studies have reported an association between lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) and immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). This study used Mendelian Randomization (MR) and multivariable MR (MVMR) to explore the causal relationship between lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). We performed a bidirectional two-sample mendelian randomization analyses based on genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics of Lp(a) and nine IMIDs, specifically celiac disease (CeD), Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), multiple sclerosis (MS), psoriasis (Pso), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), type 1 diabetes (T1D), and summary-level data for lipid traits.

Introduction: Although it is believed that chronic inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the central nervous system are mediated by autoimmune Th17 cells, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Recent studies and our research have revealed that Sp3 was blocked in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). However, it remained unclear why it is silent and how it regulates Th17 cell differentiation in MS.

Compelling evidence suggests a significant association between antibody-mediated immune responses and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the exact causal relationships between these immune responses and MS remain unclear. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive examination of the link between antibody-mediated immune responses and MS via Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to identify specific infectious pathogens potentially involved in the onset and progression of MS.
