Source Medical News Today: A type of immune cell that migrates from the gut to the brain appears to reduce inflammation in multiple sclerosis, according to recent research.
Scientists have found that by increasing numbers of the immune cells, they could completely eradicate neuroinflammation in mice with multiple sclerosis (MS).
The migrating immune cells are plasma cells that start life in bone marrow as B cells and undergo a transformation under the influence of microorganisms in the gut.
While previous studies have uncovered these cells in the central nervous system (CNS) of people with MS, they did not explain where they came from or what they were doing there. Read on.
