B-cells are important in #MultipleSclerosis too: infected by EBV and form germinal centres in the brain

[Nat Rev Neurology @NatRevNeurol]

The underlying B cell biology of autoimmune epilepsies is important for understanding their aetiology and therapy, Sarosh Irani says at #EAN2020. Read more on this B cell biology in his upcoming Review in Nature Reviews Neurology, commissioned in collaboration with @EANeurology!

Takai et al. reveal perivenous inflammatory demyelination with MOG-dominant myelin loss in biopsies from patients with MOG antibody-associated disease. The pathological features are distinct from those of MS and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders. https://t.co/gKWo2uZxIz

Could this be a mechanism of sex bias in #MultipleSclerosis?

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]
