MS has traditionally been thought of as a condition that mainly affects the white matter of the brain. Recently this notion has been challenged and now research has uncovered a potentially important disease process in the grey matter.

A new international study has mapped a type of immune cell, the microglia, in the human and mouse brain for the first time. Microglia are thought to play a role in the progression of MS. This research has changed the understanding of how these cells function, and has important implications for MS.

A new study that suggests inflammation may lead to the death of brain cells in MS may have identified a drug that could block this process.

A study from MSIF McDonald fellow Dr Eshaghi has shown that brain tissue loss, or atrophy, occurs in ’stages’ and follows a predictable order.

New research suggests the rate of brain atrophy, or brain shrinkage, may be an important indicator of disease progression in MS.
