1 Sep 16 · 7d ago · 2 articles · 1 post · 2 sources · development 1 of 2

Researchers analyzing blood samples from 114 MS patients and 21 healthy controls detected increased EBV lytic activity in immune cells up to 90 days before MS relapse, with elevated expression of MS-risk genes appearing only in pre-relapse periods. The study tracked immune changes across the CLIMB cohort at Brigham and Women's Hospital.

“We believe this work provides foundational insights into the cause of multiple sclerosis. This study puts all the pieces together, showing a timeline of how the reactivated virus interacts with risk genes to unleash inflammation before relapse occurs.”
