Under the microscope: meet your inner warriors

The immune system is made up of a diverse cast of characters, all with a unique role to play in protecting our bodies from harm. Here we introduce four of the most important immune cell types in MS.

Biomarkers: the road to certainty

One of our goals is to give people with MS more certainty about their future. To help achieve this, researchers are investigating the biomarkers of MS.

Nerve power

Mitochondria are the fuel packs of your nerve cells. Small but mighty, they provide the energy that busy nerve cells need to survive.

Salt and MS - the research

There are lots of good health reasons why we should avoid eating too much salt. But does it play a role in MS? We dive into the research.

Under the microscope: heat sensitivity

We put heat sensitivity under the microscope and speak to a researcher whose work could lead to treatments that stop MS symptoms getting worse in the heat.

Progressive MS: a new perspective

Targeting the immune system not is as effective for progressive MS as it has been for relapsing MS. We spoke with Professor Chris Linington from the University of Glasgow about his research to understand why this is.
