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.
