Biomarker panel increases accuracy for identification of an MS relapse beyond sNfL

This study aimed to identify a panel of biomarkers that would increase the precision of distinguishing patients in relapse compared to sNfL alone. Findings  identified four blood protein including sNFL,  uPA, hK8 and DSG3 that accurately distinguished relapse from remission in RRMS patients, providing an improved biomaker panel for monitioring disease activity beyond traditional measures.

Cytokine profiles show heterogeneity of interferon-b response in multiple sclerosis patients

This study evaluated serum cytokine profiles for their utility to determine the heterogeneous responses to interferon (IFN)-β treatment in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Findings revealed that six cytokine-based subgroups with varied IFN-B  treatment responses. Some subsets showed poor outcomes, while others had reduced  relapses, highlighting immune heterogeneity linked to therapy effectiveness.
