Multiple sclerosis | Understanding the roles of B cells

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a leading cause of neurological disability affecting 2.3 million people worldwide. Recent clinical evidence suggests that B cells contribute to both the inflammatory and neurodegenerative aspects of the disease. Learn about the role B cells are believed to play in the origination and development of MS.

Once inside the central nervous system, B cells have the capacity to impact the underlying pathophysiology of MS through a number of functions, including antigen presentation, cytokine production, autoantibody production and ectopic lymphoid follicle-like aggregates.
