Multiple Sclerosis May Have Two Distinct Subtypes, Scientists Discover

There may be two distinct subtypes of multiple sclerosis, according to a new study led by scientists at University College London (UCL). The finding, if validated, could help doctors provide more specialized care for patients. The study used machine learning to analyze data drawn from blood tests and brain scans of 634 patients participating in two different clinical trials. Machine learning models are trained to pick up subtle patterns that hum…

New research hints MS may not follow one single disease pattern

Multiple sclerosis (MS) may follow two distinct biological paths that differ in how early and how quickly nerve damage develops, according to a new study. Using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze brain MRI scans together with a blood test linked to nerve damage, researchers identified one MS pattern marked by earlier, more severe damage and […] The post New research hints MS may not follow one single disease pattern appeared first on Multip…
