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…).
