Congratulations to my mentor Dr. Alberto Ascherio for being awarded the Breakthrough Prize - also known as the "Oscars of Science" - for our groundbreaking research on the cause of #MultipleSclerosis !

@gsundell @KjetilBjornevik @michaelmina_lab It is a more in depth analysis of that data

[Marianna Cortese @MariCortese_]

Check out our new study on EBV and MS! We found no single EBV peptide uniquely targeted by the immune system of people with MS, and there was no distinct antibody profile to EBV. Here's a thread explaining our findings. 🧵 #MultipleSclerosis #EBV @KjetilBjornevik @michaelmina_lab

What a loss it would be!

@TheGoodBobby After adjusting for total anti-EBNA1 antibody titers (post #4), most EBV peptide associations disappeared. While total anti-EBNA-1 antibodies are strongly linked to MS risk, they alone are not specific enough to reliably predict who will develop the disease.

6/ Our study indicates that we cannot predict who will develop MS based on their serologic response to EBV.

Dr @MariCortese_ presented very compelling evidence at #AutoimmunityTriggers23 that #MultipleSclerosis is a rare complication of infection with EBV (a herpes virus) post childhood 🦠

Hot Topic 8: Prodromic MS - can we reduce the risk of MS conversion and progression? A paradigm shift on how we approach MS diagnosis? How early and accurately can we do it? Still a controversial hot topic. @helen_tremlett @XtineLebrunF @XMontalban #MSMilan2023 #ECTRIMS #ACTRIMS
