Breakthroughs in MS Research: Cures, Causes, and Game-Changing Treatments

Send us a text In this special episode of The Just MS Show, we explore the groundbreaking advancements in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research that are changing lives and redefining what"s possible. We cover: The paradigm shift: How B-cells—not T-cells—are the true culprits behind MS, and how this discovery has led to life-changing treatments like Ocrevus and Kesimpta. The EBV connection: Why Epstein-Barr Virus is now considered the leading cause of MS, and how this could lead to a preventative vaccine. Myelin repair therapies: From over-the-counter drugs like clemastine to next-gen breakthroughs like PIPE-307, stem cell grafts, and microglia modulation. Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs): New drugs like Tolebrutinib and CNM-Au8 that are slowing or reversing MS progression. Emerging trends: Using fMRI to track cognitive decline, the impact of mental health on fatigue, and how GLP-1 weight-loss drugs could reduce MS risk. Patient-focused care: Insights on treatment preferences, postpartum considerations, and financial relief through Medicare changes. This isn’t just another research update—it"s a roadmap to what may soon be a world where MS is preventable, treatable, and even curable.
