A brain protein called ANO2 has emerged as a new piece of the puzzle linking Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections and MS ...

A newly identified mechanism lends credence to the idea that MS may be treatable by targeting EBV-infected B-cells, a study found.

Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the immune system erroneously attacks a protective insulation that surrounds neurons ...

The immune system's reaction to the common Epstein-Barr virus can ultimately damage the brain and contribute to multiple ...

“Our study shows how the most important environmental and genetic risk factors can contribute to MS and trigger an autoimmune ...

Our results provide mechanistic evidence that immune responses to EBV can directly damage the brain in MS,” said Olivia Thomas, PhD, assistant professor at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience at ...

Recent findings suggest that the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is involved in both causing multiple sclerosis (MS) and shaping its ...

The Epstein-Barr virus, which causes mononucleosis, may also drive the autoimmune disorder lupus. For years scientists have suspected that the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)—a type of herpesvirus that ...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous herpesvirus implicated in the aetiology of a range of malignancies including lymphomas, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and gastric cancer. The virus is renowned for ...

Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis arise when the immune system turns against the body itself. Yet for most of ...
