In their paper, De Stefano et al. Describe the reduction of the percentage brain volume change (PBVC) in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS treated with the purine analog cladribine over a period of 24 months. While we highly appreciate the aim of looking at atrophy rates in new MS treatments, we would like… Read more »

Production of IL-17 by MAIT Cells Is Increased in Multiple Sclerosis and Is Associated with IL-7 Receptor Expression.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a T cell-driven inflammatory disease of the CNS. Research on T cell subsets involved in MS pathogenesis has mainly focused on classical CD4+ T cells, especially Th17 cells, as they produce the proinflammatory, MS-associated cytokine IL-17. However, the abundant unconventional mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are also able to produce IL-17…. Read more »
