Study Links Fat-Filled Brain Cells to Multiple Sclerosis Progression
Researchers have identified a potential factor in the varied progression of multiple sclerosis among individuals. A study revealed that 'foamy' immune cells in severe MS patients, overloaded with fat from damaged myelin, may shift from aiding brain repair to exacerbating damage and inflammation. This finding could pave the way for new biomarkers and more personalized treatment approaches for the disease.
