Tweet from Dr. Paolo Zamboni: "Markers of vascular endothelial injury in multiple sclerosis: the impefect crime."
Study: Blood circulating microparticle species in relapsing–remitting and secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. A case–control, cross sectional study with conventional MRI and advanced iron content imaging outcomes
Conclusion: These results indicate that circulating microparticles' profiles in MS may support mechanistic roles for microvascular stress and injury which is an underlying contributor not only to MS initiation and progression, but also to pro-inflammatory responses.
