Capturing immune cells that colonise the brain to prevent disease progression in multiple sclerosis
Clinical Neurology Research
16 February 2021
Researchers have revealed a disease-causing population of immune cells, which travel to the brain in patients with multiple sclerosis. They demonstrate how to trap these cells in the blood, which means they can be targeted to prevent disease progression.

COVID-19 and Guillain-Barré syndrome
Clinical Neurology Coronavirus Research
23 November 2020
Multiple recent case reports have suggested a link between COVID-19 and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), an acute, disabling, immune-mediated disorder of the peripheral nervous system. It is currently unclear whether this simply represents a chance association.
Viruses shown to evolve as a result of different immune responses in different ethnic populations
Clinical Neurology Coronavirus Research
20 November 2020
New research into the HIV-1 virus has shed light on an important factor in the evolution of viruses, which is likely also to affect SARS-CoV-2 (the virus which causes COVID-19). This new insight could have important implications for vaccine development.
