Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by the immune system attacking the central nervous system (CNS), leading to demyelination and neurodegeneration. Understanding the immunological underpinnings of MS is crucial for developing effective treatments and improving patient outcomes.
This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews that delve into the immunological aspects of MS. We welcome contributions that explore the roles of various immune cells (such as T cells, B cells, and microglia), cytokines, and other molecular mediators in the pathogenesis of MS. Studies that address the interplay between genetic and environmental factors, the impact of immune system modulation therapies, and the development of novel immunotherapies are particularly encouraged. This collection will provide a deeper understanding of the immunology of MS, potentially guiding future therapeutic strategies and enhancing our ability to manage this challenging disease.
