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

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.
