Many challenges exist in the precise diagnosis and clinical management of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) because lack definitive clinical, imaging, immunologic, or pathologic criteria that demarcate transition from relapsing-remitting MS to SPMS. This review provides an overview diagnostic criteria/definition heterogeneity associated with different SPMS patient populations; it also emphasizes importance available prospective/retrospective tools identify patients earlier disease course so approved disease-modifying therapies nonpharmacological strategies will translate into better outcomes. Delivery such interventions necessitates evolving patient-clinician dialog within context a multidisciplinary team.

Aging is a significant risk factor associated with the progression of CNS neurodegenerative diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS). Microglia, resident macrophages parenchyma, are major population immune cells that accumulate in MS lesions. While they normally regulate tissue homeostasis and facilitate clearance neurotoxic molecules oxidized phosphatidylcholines (OxPCs), their transcriptome neuroprotective functions reprogrammed by aging. Thus, determining factors instigate aging microglia dysfunction can lead to new insights for promoting repair halting disease progression. Through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq), we identified Lgals3, which encodes galectin-3 (Gal3), as an age upregulated gene responding OxPC. Consistently, excess Gal3 accumulated OxPC lysolecithin-induced focal spinal cord white matter (SCWM) lesions middle-aged mice compared young mice. was also elevated mouse experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) more importantly brain from two male one female individuals. delivery alone into did not induce damage, its co-delivery increased cleaved caspase 3 IL-1β within exacerbated OxPC-induced injury.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease that commonly results in nontraumatic disability young adults. The characteristic pathological hallmark of MS damage to myelin, oligodendrocytes, axons. Microglia provide continuous surveillance the CNS microenvironment initiate defensive mechanisms protect tissue. Additionally, microglia participate neurogenesis, synaptic refinement, myelin pruning through expression release different signaling factors. Continuous activation has been implicated disorders. We first review lifetime microglia, including origin, differentiation, development, function microglia. then discuss whole processes remyelination demyelination, microglial phenotypes MS, NF-κB/PI3K-AKT pathway regulatory pathways may change homeostasis which would accelerate progression MS.

Research in multiple sclerosis (MS) has long been predicated on clinical groupings that do not reflect the underlying biologic heterogeneity apparent within patient populations. This review explicates various levels of explanation through which spectrum disease is described and investigated both above below threshold detection, as framed by topographical model MS, to help advance a cogent mechanistic framework.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune, inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS). MS associated with complex interplay between processes, mostly attributed to pathogenic T B cells. However, growing body of preclinical clinical evidence indicates that innate immunity plays crucial role in promotion progression. Accordingly, studies targeting different immune cells control are currently under study, highlighting importance this pathology. Here, we reviewed recent findings regarding played by pathogenesis MS.
