Review: ‘Gimme five’: future challenges in multiple sclerosis. ECTRIMS Lecture 2009 [PDF]
This article is based on the ECTRIMS lecture given at the 25th ECTRIMS meeting which was held in Düsseldorf, Germany, from 9 to 12 September 2009. Five challenges have been identified: (1) safeguarding the principles of medical ethics; (2) optimizing the

The LPS receptor, CD14, in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and multiple sclerosis [PDF]
Innate immune receptors are crucial for defense against microorganisms. Recently, a cross-talk between innate and adaptive immunity has been considered. Here, we provide first evidence for a role of the key innate immune receptor, LPS receptor (CD14) in ...

Targeting of prion-infected lymphoid cells to the central nervous system accelerates prion infection
Background Prions, composed of a misfolded protein designated PrPSc, are infectious agents causing fatal neurodegenerative diseases. We have shown previously that, following induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, prion-infected mice ...

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.

Innate immune activation in experimental autoimmune myocarditis [PDF]
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of heart failure and frequently results from postinfectious autoimmunity. Its pathophysiology is modeled by experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM), a CD4+ T-cell mediated murine model of ...

Growth Differentiation Factor 11 Is a Circulating Regulator of Oligodendrocyte Differentiation and CNS Myelin Formation and Repair. [PDF]
Systemically administered GDF11 enhances CNS myelin formation and repair across both developmental and disease contexts. GDF11 promotes the differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells into mature oligodendrocytes, increases myelin sheath thickness in neonatal mice, and accelerates remyelination in both the cuprizone‐induced demyelination model ...

Impact of Siponimod on Enteric and Central Nervous System Pathology in Late-Stage Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis. [PDF]
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Although immune modulation and suppression are effective during relapsing-remitting MS, secondary progressive MS (SPMS) requires neuroregenerative therapeutic options ...

MOGAD Is the Most Common Cause of Isolated Optic Neuritis in Children
ABSTRACT Objectives The study aimed to characterize the clinical features, etiologies, and outcomes of isolated, first‐time pediatric ON in the post‐MOG‐IgG era. Methods This was a single‐center retrospective cohort study at Texas Children's Hospital of patients diagnosed with first‐time ON between 2018–2024, with follow‐up data collected through 2025.

Two Years Later: Journals Are Not Yet Enforcing the ARRIVE Guidelines on Reporting Standards for Pre-Clinical Animal Studies [PDF]
There is growing concern that poor experimental design and lack of transparent reporting contribute to the frequent failure of pre-clinical animal studies to translate into treatments for human disease.

The Innate Immune Receptor CD14 Mediates Lymphocyte Migration in EAE
Background: Multiple sclerosis is the most common autoimmune disease of the central nervous system in young adults and histopathologically characterized by inflammation, demyelination and gliosis.
