Only 48% of people with MS are in work across the European countries that report data. MS is usually diagnosed between 20 and 40 — peak career years. Our CEO @lili_ @eumsplatform speaks on brain health and employment today at #IFDM2026 in Edinburgh. #MultipleSclerosis

🧬 New insights into EBV and multiple sclerosis (MS) EBV-MS researchers found that MS is linked to stronger EBV-specific immune responses, reduced by anti-CD20 therapy. The findings support future EBV-targeted vaccines and antiviral approaches. Read the paper: buff.ly/LOEmoR0

CD4+ T cells reactive to Epstein-Barr virus late lytic antigens are enriched in individuals with multiple sclerosis
CD4+ T cells in MS preferentially recognize EBV viral particles rather than latent antigens, and responses are reduced by B cell–targeting therapies.
