Now, scientists have detected two new biological strands of MS using AI, a simple blood test and MRI scans. Experts said the exciting breakthrough could revolutionise treatment of the disease worldwide. In research involving 600 patients, led by University College London (UCL) and Queen Square Analytics, researchers looked at blood levels of a special protein called serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL).

Many years ago, Dr. Stephen Hauser and his research team discovered how B cells were crucial to the damage caused by MS. They developed new treatments, including one medicine that is literally saving the life of someone I love dearly. (If you need hope here, read his amazing book.) I met Dr. Hauser a few days ago at a charity dinner in San Francisco, where he spoke about the breakthrough. I got to thank him for this miracle of science, while trying not to cry.

According to the major UK survey of over 1,100 respondents with MS, systemic failures in workplace support and welfare systems significantly hinder the ability of individuals to maintain employment.

Sara Morris, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, exaggerated her condition to fraudulently claim over £20,000 in benefits while actively participating in running events.
