SARS‐CoV‐2 Is Linked to Brain Volume Loss in Multiple Sclerosis
ABSTRACT Objective The impact of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection on brain and spinal cord pathology in patients with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) remains unclear. We aimed to describe changes in brain lesion activity and brain and spinal cord volumes following SARS‐CoV‐2 infection.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis as a Multistep Process in the United States: A Population‐Based Study
ABSTRACT Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal, progressive neurodegenerative disease that typically results in death within 3–5 years from symptom onset. However, little is known about the environmental exposures, clinical aspects, or social determinants of health factors that may be associated with the disease.

Toxin-neutralizing antibodies protect against Clostridium perfringens challenge in an intestinal loop model for bovine enterotoxaemia [PDF]
Bovine enterotoxaemia caused by Clostridium perfringens type A most often presents as a sudden death syndrome with necro-hemorrhagic small intestinal lesions in suckling calves and veal calves (Muylaert et al., 2010).

Genetic Profile and Symptom Pattern Explain Variability of Deep Brain Stimulation Effect in Dystonia
ABSTRACT Objective Bilateral globus pallidus pars interna deep brain stimulation (GPi‐DBS) is a recognized and effective treatment option for drug‐resistant dystonia patients. However, the clinical GPi‐DBS outcomes vary significantly. Herein, we explored the pre‐implant factors affecting GPi‐DBS effectiveness.

In Vitro Modeling of Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity to Inform Personalized ALS Therapeutics
ABSTRACT Objective Natural killer (NK) cells might contribute to motor neuron death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) through direct cytotoxicity, a process that could be inhibited with the FDA‐approved JAK/STAT pathway inhibitor, tofacitinib. This study aimed to verify that tofacitinib can suppress NK cell cytotoxicity, investigate if immune cell
