This Week on Just MS News
This week, we look at three important stories affecting the MS community.
Researchers in Australia are using lab grown “mini brains” to investigate how damaged myelin might one day be repaired. Sheffield Teaching Hospitals has also treated its first MS participant with experimental CAR T cell therapy, an approach researchers have been watching for years.
We also examine a revised Cleveland Clinic protocol designed to help MS clinicians respond more confidently when a patient reports suicidal thoughts.
The episode finishes with several additional stories worth checking out, including treatment discontinuation in older adults, EBV vaccine and T cell research, MS treatment sequencing, OCT in diagnosis, and the need for better pain care.
