The molecular basis of neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis

Open access
Lassmann, Hans, van Horssen, Jack·2011·FEBS Letters

Abstract

Studies aimed to elucidate the pathogenesis of the disease and to find new therapeutic options for multiple sclerosis (MS) patients heavily rely on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) as a suitable experimental model. This strategy has been highly successful for the inflammatory component of the disease, but had so far little success in the development of neuroprotective therapies, which are also effective in the progressive stage of the disease. Here we discuss opportunities and limitations of EAE models for MS research and provide an overview on the complex mechanisms leading to demyelination and neurodegeneration in this disease. We suggest that the underlying mechanisms involve adaptive and innate immunity. However, mitochondrial injury, resulting in energy failure, is a key element of neurodegeneration in MS and is apparently driven by radical production in activated microglia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
