The NR4A2/VGF pathway fuels inflammation-induced neurodegeneration via promoting neuronal glycolysis.

Veröffentlicht: von & gespeichert unter Allgemein.

A disturbed balance between excitation and inhibition (E/I balance) is increasingly recognized as a key driver of neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. To understand how chronic hyperexcitability contributes to neuronal loss in MS, we transcriptionally profiled neurons from mice lacking inhibitory metabotropic glutamate signaling with shifted… Read more »

Cognition in patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease: a prospective, longitudinal, multicentre study of 113 patients (CogniMOG-Study).

Veröffentlicht: von & gespeichert unter Allgemein.

Background: Data on cognition in patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) are limited to studies with small sample sizes. Therefore, we aimed to analyse the extent, characteristics and the longitudinal course of potential cognitive deficits in patients with MOGAD. Methods: The CogniMOG-Study is a prospective, longitudinal and multicentre observational study of 113 patients… Read more »

Application of the international criteria for optic neuritis in the Acute Optic Neuritis Network.

Veröffentlicht: von & gespeichert unter Allgemein.

Objective: The first international consensus criteria for optic neuritis (ICON) were published in 2022. We applied these criteria to a prospective, global observational study of acute optic neuritis (ON). Methods: We included 160 patients with a first-ever acute ON suggestive of a demyelinating CNS disease from the Acute Optic Neuritis Network (ACON). We applied the… Read more »
