Polyunsaturated fatty acids in the pathogenesis and treatment of multiple sclerosis [PDF]
Epidemiological, biochemical, animal model and clinical trial data described in this overview strongly suggest that polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly n-6 fatty acids, have a role in the pathogenesis and treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS).

Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis in Mice [PDF]
Experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE), the animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS), has provided significant insight into the mechanisms that initiate and drive autoimmunity. Several central nervous system proteins and peptides have been used to induce disease, in a number of different mouse strains, to model the diverse clinical presentations of ...

Monitoring retinal changes with optical coherence tomography predicts neuronal loss in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a clinical and research tool in multiple sclerosis, where it has shown significant retinal nerve fiber (RNFL) and ganglion cell (RGC) layer thinning, while postmortem studies have reported RGC loss.

Tim-3 Relieves Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis by Suppressing MHC-II
Tim-3, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, is widely expressed on the immune cells and contributes to immune tolerance. However, the mechanisms by which Tim-3 induces immune tolerance remain to be determined.
