Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the leading cause of non-traumatic disability in young adults, characterized by autoimmune demyelination and neurodegeneration. While high-efficacy therapies have transformed relapsing MS management, disability progression remains an unmet need. Emerging evidence implicates compartmentalized central nervous system (CNS) inflammation, including microglial activation, in disease pathogenesis, necessitating novel immunotherapeutic strategies that target both peripheral and CNS-resident immune cells. This review synthesizes recent preclinical and clinical data on emerging MS immunotherapies offering promise for halting disability progression in MS. Their clinical integration will depend on balancing efficacy with safety, particularly in progressive phenotypes where therapeutic options remain limited.
期刊介绍:
The first issue of the Revue Neurologique, featuring an original article by Jean-Martin Charcot, was published on February 28th, 1893. Six years later, the French Society of Neurology (SFN) adopted this journal as its official publication in the year of its foundation, 1899.
The Revue Neurologique was published throughout the 20th century without interruption and is indexed in all international databases (including Current Contents, Pubmed, Scopus). Ten annual issues provide original peer-reviewed clinical and research articles, and review articles giving up-to-date insights in all areas of neurology. The Revue Neurologique also publishes guidelines and recommendations.
The Revue Neurologique publishes original articles, brief reports, general reviews, editorials, and letters to the editor as well as correspondence concerning articles previously published in the journal in the correspondence column.
