Background: Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) have been associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). Teriflunomide is an oral disease-modifying therapy approved for treatment of relapsing forms of MS. In the preclinical Theiler’s murine encephalitis virus model of MS, the drug...

A review: Approximately 70% of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients will develop secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) within 10–15 years. This progression is characterized by a gradual decline in neurological functionality and increasing limitations of daily...

The New Normal: Delayed Peak SARS-CoV-2 Viral Loads Relative to Symptom Onset and Implications for COVID-19 Testing Programs, 2023, Jennifer K Frediani et al Abstract Background Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, peak viral loads coincided with symptom onset. We hypothesized that in a highly...

There have also been spontaneous remissions for pw/MS, but from I've read is that it occurs in the earlier stages of relapse/onset from early intervention with disease-modifying agents. Ron Davis believes that ME/CFS can be cured because a few people who were diagnosed with ME/CFS may have had...

Omicron has changed how the virus enters cells. Normally, the virus uses a cellular door called ACE2 and a key called TMPRSS2 to get in. Omicron has learned to pick the lock differently, using another form of ACE2 that's resistant to TMPRSS2. This allows the variant to enter cells more...

Abstract Continued high levels spread of SARS-CoV-2 globally enabled accumulation of changes within the Spike glycoprotein, leading to resistance to neutralising antibodies and concomitant changes to entry requirements that increased viral transmission fitness. Herein, we demonstrate a...
