Recent advancements in research have significantly enhanced our comprehension of the intricate immune components that contribute to multiple sclerosis (MS) pathogenesis. By conducting an in-depth analysis of complex molecular interactions involved in the immunological cascade of the disease, researchers have successfully identified novel therapeutic targets, leading to the development of innovative therapies. Leveraging pioneering technologies in proteomics, genomics, and the assessment of environmental factors has expedited our understanding of the vulnerability and impact of these factors on the progression of MS. Furthermore, these advances have facilitated the detection of significant biomarkers for evaluating disease activity. By integrating these findings, researchers can design novel molecules to identify new targets, paving the way for improved treatments and enhanced patient care. Our review presents recent discoveries regarding the pathogenesis of MS, highlights their genetic implications, and proposes an insightful approach for engaging with newer therapeutic targets in effectively managing this debilitating condition.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that is usually diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40. Changes in the immune system also observed in cancer may suggest a higher prevalence of cancer in the MS patient population. In recent years, many highly effective immunosuppressive drugs have been introduced into disease-modifying therapy (DMT) which may be associated with a higher risk of cancer development in patients with MS.

Background: Multiple sclerosis is a central neurogenic demyelinating disease. This is one of the most common neurological diseases in humans and is the most debilitating at a young age. Symptoms of multiple sclerosis include vision problems, balance problems, dizziness, sensory disturbances, chronic neuropathy, and fatigue.

Background: Multiple sclerosis and its progressive relapsing-remitting nature for MS patients is challenging and significantly affects the mental health of people with MS. We examined the direct effects of alexithymia and attachment on mental health and the indirect effect of attachment, alexithymia, loneliness, and perceived social support on the mental health of people with MS.

Materials And Methods: Three hundred and forty-five diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) were deemed eligible for inclusion in the study and selected through the Iranian MS Association.

Background: In recent decades, relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) became more treatable through new disease-modifying therapies (DMTs). Identifying safe treatments with minimal fetal risks for family planning is needed.

Methods: In this prospective cohort from the German MS and Pregnancy Registry (DMSKW), we analyzed pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in MS-patients using descriptive statistics and logistic/linear regression models to compare DMT-exposed pregnancies to DMT-unexposed pregnancies.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS). There is a significant delay in diagnosing MS as the symptoms and tests overlap with other diseases. Blood-based biomarkers, which quantify fragments of proteins involved in MS pathophysiology, have the potential as diagnostic biomarkers.
