Article Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic inflammatory and degenerative autoimmune disease characterized by the activation of various inflammatory cells, leads to demyelination and neuronal injury. Neutrophils, often underestimated in MS, are gaining increased attention for their significant functions in MS patients and the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) animal model. Neutrophils play multiple roles in mediating the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, and numerous studies suggest that neutrophils might have a crucial role through neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation. Studies on NETs in MS are still in their infancy. In this review, we discuss the clinical perspective on the linkage between neutrophils and MS or EAE, as well as the role of NETs in the pathogenesis of MS/EAE. Further, we analyze the potential mechanisms by which NETs contribute to MS, the protective effects of NETs in MS, and their value as targets for disease intervention. NET formation and/or clearance as a therapeutic approach for MS still requires research in greater depth.

Wartime stress and relapse risk in people with multiple sclerosis: a prospective cohort study.
J Neurol

Multiple Sclerosis Center, Sheba Medical Center, Derech Sheba 2, Tel Hashomer, Israel.
Introduction: Psychological stress has been proposed as a trigger for disease activity in multiple sclerosis (MS), but findings have been inconsistent. While prior research has focused largely on chronic stressors, little is known about how people with MS (pwMS) cope with acute, large-scale stress events such as war.
Objective: Examine the effects of wartime stress following the October 7, 2023 attack on disease activity in pwMS, and to assess whether emotional factors are associated with relapse risk during this period.
Background: Growing evidence suggests a close association between circulating micronutrient levels and neuroimmune diseases. Nevertheless, the causal relationship between them remains unclear. Furthermore, due to confounding factors, many micronutrients implicated in these diseases remain unidentified.

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). CD4 CD25 Tregs, which normally suppress immune responses, exhibit impaired function in MS. Treg-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry immunoregulatory proteins and miRNAs that modulate T-cell activity.

Background: Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a severe demyelinating disease caused by JC polyomavirus (JCV), affecting immunocompromised individuals. We describe PML demographic, clinical, radiological and laboratory characteristics and survival over time and according to underlying condition in a large retrospective patient cohort.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort including Italian PML patients observed between 1987 and 2024, with known year of diagnosis and underlying disease.
