Figure 1: Immunomodulatory therapies are effective during the relapsing-remitting phase of MS, when immune cells are found in active lesions, but fail to ameliorate progressive decline and irreversible clinical disability. Increased axonal injury correlates with lack of immune cell infiltration but sustained activation of resident CNS glial cells in the progressive phase. These pathological findings are consistent with MRI imaging studies demonstrating virtually no new lesions occurring during progressive MS. Additionally, at the time of MS diagnosis there is evidence of prior lesion activity by MRI imaging supporting that the future development of neuroprotective strategies should be administered in combination with immunomodulatory therapies.

Targeting the central nervous system: The future of therapeutic strategies for MS

Great leaps in multiple sclerosis treatment but the holy grail is still ahead

CEO of MS Australia Rohan Greenland highlights the breakthroughs in treating attacks on the brain and spinal cord in multiple sclerosis (MS). But his sights are set firmly on the great unmet needs: to repair damaged nerves, reverse disability, and ultimately, prevent MS.

Remyelinating versus neuroprotective therapies for multiple sclerosis

Reducing clinical relapses and improving quality of life is at the heart of MS treatment; here Tara M. DeSilva explores the benefits of remyelinating versus neuroprotective therapies for tackling MS.
