Scientists have been examining how the DNA changes in nerve cells are increased in damaged areas of the brain of those living with Multiple Sclerosis. Research which aims to give a better understanding of how inflammation in the brain triggers mutations and causes lasting damage.
Scientists have been examining the tolerance of those living with relapsing multiple sclerosis to a drug treatment aimed at slowing down the disease’s progression. We summarise a four-year study of Ofatumumab and examine why the findings are important for those living with the condition.
In this study, researchers looked at how examining the composition of fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord – and the changes seen in patients with and without Multiple Sclerosis – could give an early indication of susceptibility.
