Findings suggest path to targeted MS treatments

2 Sep 17 · 6d ago · 2 articles · 1 comment · 2 sources · development 2 of 2

The research identifies B cells and ABC-like B cells as key immune cells showing the strongest changes before relapse, with EBV proteins triggering MS risk genes. Senior author Chitnis notes the results point toward more precise therapeutic approaches targeting EBV or specific immune cells, rather than broad immune suppression.

“Currently, most MS treatments work by broadly suppressing the immune system. Our results suggest there's an opportunity to be more precise and develop approaches that target EBV or the immune cells involved in relapse.”
