Pathology and disease mechanisms in different stages of multiple sclerosis
Abstract
In this review the differences in pathology and disease mechanisms between early and late stages of multiple sclerosis are discussed. The data suggest that affection of the brain is different, depending on the location of lesions, on the stage of the disease, when lesions arise, and on inter-individual differences between patients. We suggest that in the early stage of the disease new lesions are formed by new waves of inflammatory cells, entering the central nervous system from the circulation and giving rise to focal demyelinated plaques in the white and gray matter. In contrast, at late stages of the disease inflammation decreases, but the susceptibility of the target tissue for neurodegeneration increases. New data suggest that mitochondrial injury, mediated through oxidative injury, is in the center of the pathogenetic events leading to brain damage in multiple sclerosis patients.

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.
