A common theme throughout many of the sections in the e-learning is the prominent role played by brain-resident microglia in multiple sclerosis (MS). This module, authored by Prof. Patrick Vermersch, will discuss how current MS treatments reduce MS relapse activity and acute inflammation, but how the activation of innate immune cells (i.e. microglia) in the brain contributes to ongoing disability progression that is not related to relapses.

The role of Microglia in Multiple Sclerosis. Module 2 – Clinical progression and the relation with innate immune cells
This e-learning module covers the topic of clinical progression and the relation with innate immune cells. Unlike the historical interpretation, evidence now suggests that all phenotypes lie on a multiple sclerosis continuum, and that acute and chronic inflammation are present to different extents in each form of MS. This module, authored by Professor Carlo Pozzilli, MD PhD, digs into the pathophysiology of MS to explain the MS continuum and how the activation of microglia in the brain and subsequent induction of neurodegenerative processes relate to that.
