Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes alleviate the severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and enhance lag-3 expression on foxp3  + CD4 + T cells
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that hUMSCs-Exs could be a promising anti-inflammatory agent to regulate T-cell responses in EAE and other autoimmune diseases. However, further research is necessary to fully understand the underlying mechanisms and Lag-3's precise role in these conditions.PMID:38627337 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-024-09433-5 (Source: Molecular Biology Reports)

Dysregulated Lipid Metabolism Networks Modulate T-cell Function in People with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
Clin Exp Immunol. 2024 Apr 16:uxae032. doi: 10.1093/cei/uxae032. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAltered cholesterol, oxysterol, sphingolipid, and fatty acid concentrations are reported in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and brain tissue of people with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and are linked to disease progression and treatment responses. CD4+ T cells are pathogenic in RRMS, and defective T cell function could be mediated in part by liver X receptors (LXRs) - nuclear receptors that regulate lipid homeostasis and immunity. RNA-sequencing and pathway analysis identified that genes within the 'lipid metabolism'...

Pediatric traumatic brain injury and early age multiple sclerosis in Finland: A nationwide register ‐based cohort study
There is no evidence of an association between pediatric traumatic brain injuty (pTBI) and early-onset multiple sclerosis 20 years post-initial trauma.Hazard ratio (HR) for pTBI was 1.10 (95% CI: 0.56-1.48). AbstractObjectiveExamine the link between pediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI) and early-onset multiple sclerosis in Finland.MethodsConducted nationwide register study (1998 −2018) with 28,750 pTBI patients (<  18) and 38,399 pediatric references with extremity fractures. Multiple sclerosis diagnoses from Finnish Social Insurance Institution. Employed Kaplan−Meier and multivariable Cox regression for probabi...

Clinical trial evidence of quality-of-life effects of disease-modifying therapies for multiple sclerosis: a systematic analysis
ConclusionsCertain DMTs have the potential to positively impact QoL of PwMS, and the assessment and reporting of QoL is suboptimal with a multitude of diverse instruments being used. There is an urgent need that design and reporting of clinical trials reflect the critical importance of QoL for PwMS. (Source: Journal of Neurology)

Real-world evidence and patient preference for subcutaneous < em > versus < /em > intravenous natalizumab in the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis - initial results from the observational SISTER study
CONCLUSION: Based on current data, there is a trend toward patients' preference for the natalizumab SC route over the IV route, which provides valuable insights into patients' preference for natalizumab RoA in routine care and complements available data from clinical studies with real-world data on SC natalizumab.TRIAL REGISTRATION: This observational (non-interventional) study was registered in the local German PEI register for non-interventional studies (NIS-No. 611) and in the international CTgov register (NCT05304520).PMID:38616781 | PMC:PMC11015759 | DOI:10.1177/17562864241241382 (Source: Adv Data)
