Immunological Players in the Pathogenesis of MS

Prof. Thomas Berger talks about Immunological Players in the Pathogenesis of MS at ParadigMS Pre-MENACTRIMS Symposium, Abu Dhabi, Dec 7, 2023.

Inflammation is the driving force in the pathogenesis of MS.

Over the past decades, we can observe increased recognition that various immune cells are involved: [CD4+ Tc, CD8+ Tc, macrophages] plus Bc plus microglia.

As a consequence of gained knowledge in the immunopathogenesis of MS -> DMTs are, thus, increasingly developed towards targeted treatments (at the right time of the disease course…).
