It is well accepted that the last decade has been marked by enormous advances in the field of demyelinating diseases and more specifically multiple sclerosis. A lot of research occurred leading to early diagnosis and discovery of new biomarkers that help with treatment decisions. New therapies emerged and moved from the lab to human trials, to pharmacies and eventually to the patient’s home. Nowadays, diagnosis of MS is not a death sentence. It is viewed as chronic disease that can be managed very well and, given successful treatment, patients can enjoy a high quality of life.

During this webinar, we will focus on two fundamental areas of research in MS. The first presentation by Dr. Mark Haacke will discuss a new imaging method, the MICRO Imaging that can image very small vessels in the brain, including both arteries and veins, and subsequently classify vascular abnormalities, MS-specific.

The second presentation by Dr. Robert Lisak will discuss the role exosomes as mediators of immune regulation in MS and will review evidence about the toxicity of exosome- enriched fractions from B-lymphocytes on oligodendrocytes in people with MS.
